This is quite a sensitive post but I am trying to understand some emotions triggered through SP..
OK.. In my life I have had long term depression but I would like to understand it.. I mean often I could feel Ok and go day to day coping.. Then all of a sudden BOOM and im really down.. It has happened so many times and I dont understand it or know how to prevent it... So I've desided maybe if I ask others what they believe triggers their mood/depression, Just maybe there will be a pattern..
So I would like to know "What triggers depression?"

For myself, it's some sort of negative event in my life. If your episodes are happening for no apparent reason, then it might very well be a problem with the ol' brain chemistry. I think you could use some counseling, maybe get some meds. What part of the world do you live in? ... near (or in) what city?

Hi Solitary Soul,
Thanks for the reply.. I am from England currently North East but about to move to the Wiltshire.. I am having CBT atm.. but i thought if I could understand why it is so much like a rollercoaster I might be able to prevent it a little..

Loneliness.
If i go through a day without speaking to any one at all then i find i get quite depressed. Yeh, as shy people we go through alot of days without conversing with others, but you usually manage to say 'hi' to someone at least ... and on days i dont say that 'hi' i feel really low.

For me, it's days like today where I do nothing but sit on the computer in my room all day. I hate not having a life and going out like most people my age do, yet even on the occassian I do go out and socailse with someon it's hell thanks to my complete lack of social skills/personailty.

Lonliness or reminders of lonliness. Like, one big thing that does it for me is seeing couples that are particularly into each other. Another is hearing guys complain about their women problems.
I also get depressed when I'm reminded how poor my social skills are.

For me, depression is usually the result of frustration. I'm a perfectionist and when I do something wrong, or I can't or feel I can't do anything about a particular situation, I get depressed.

I can relate to that one, Spitzig. I always get secretly frustrated when I'll be talking to a guy who's been arguing with his wife over something and he'll say, "You're lucky you're not married" or "Don't ever get married". If they only knew....

It may be hormonal u know. oh hi julie, im new here. it may have somehtign to do with ur hormones, and that in turn may have somethign to do with ur family history. eg. maybe someone in ur family from ur dad or moms side had depression or a history of depression. hope this helps. m so happy to see a site just for shy ppl.

Failures. The inability to achieve goals I have myself set. The ensuing depression is usually a fleeting thing though because every failure just slaps you across your face yelling: "Don't sit here! Get going again and try once more!"

In my case it can vary to fear that I will not accomplish my goal or do something wrong or that someone critizes/comments at something that hits home hard. Doing something "wrong" can also trigger negative self thoughts.
But overall, I only feel very down about something, but not depressed. I have felt depressed for a short while and it is not the same feeling as I have when I just want to be invisible from embrassment, as example.
