I've been depressed for about two years straight, and it's gotten extremely severe these past three months. Over the past year, I've developed an addiction to cutting. I also have a hint of anorexia, and I force myself to eat regularly just so I don't get it although I hate what I see in the mirror. I have nothing to be depressed over; my parents are happily married, and I have some online friends. Nothing dramatic has happened really in my life, and that's what makes me feel guilty for feeling sad, but no matter how much effort I put to be happy or just relaxed, it always fails. No one knows about my cutting, depression, or hint of my ED. I think about suicide a LOT. I think about it throughout the whole day nearly, and I often imagine how people would react, how to do it, when to do it, etc. I just need some answers. Please try your best to relate and/or help me. Thank you.
Is it bad to be depressed for no reason?

Hey. I've been there, with most of the things that you listed here in this post. Its okay to be depressed about "nothing". Maybe i wouldn't go so far as to say "okay" but its not abnormal. Heres my suggestions: one, if you can find someone you like to talk to and can confide in, it really helps. also: if you have the means and access to a councilor, thats great too. If none of these work or are available (or even in addition if they are), in my worst time, i used an app on my phone (also a website) called seven cups. the people who work for the app are solely there to listen and talk. its very easy to feel alone in this world. they helped me realize that there are people all over the world who care, even if they don't know you at all. kinda like me, I care even though I don't really know you. Stay safe and just know, posting this question is already a huge step. Never ever lose hope.
