I am so sorry you have been feeling this way. what's been the cause of you feeling unhappy? Have you thought of seeking professional help?

I don't know what's causing the way I feel. for as long as I can remember, I've only known sadness. then I was diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety. I need help, but no one seems to understand me

don't you think it would be best for you to stay in therapy for a good period of time? so with the help of a therapist you can find healthy ways to cope with your emotions as well as try to understand your triggers and causes of this overwhelming sadness?

I have stayed. but all I keep hearing is that I have to know my trigger before they can help me. like I'm coming to you for help, cos if I knew what was wrong, wouldn't I have fixed it?

it's possible for you to know what's really wrong or what's causing you to feel unhappy but you have to be able to identify what (situation, people or places that triggers )makes you feel sad. Has there been any recent big change in your life or relationships with people around you? Past experiences that made you feel hurt can also resurface as unexplained sadness. Have you tried to track or record your thoughts or moods by writing them down? to help you identify what maybe trigging the unhappy feelings.

Hi Gigi Being so unhappy for years is really devastating. I don't know about your spirituality but please intentionally "cast your cares on Jesus because he cares for you". 1 pet 5:7. Therapy is good but have you ever thought about who therapist goes to when they are overwhelmed? Exactly. We're all human and limited in our capacity to help each other and even ourselves. Only God can do that. And no, I'm not asking you to pray. Just speak with Jesus like you would a friend. Tell him how you feel down to to the very last drop of feeling. Listen to more praise and worship songs especially Nathaniel bassey and Sumisola agbebi. Then have a journal where you write about your emotions as often as you want. Keep track of the tiniest feeling of happiness and look back witha grateful heart. Also try taking more of vitamin D supplement because I read that lack of it leads to depression and suicidal thoughts."
