[NT] NT Depression?

[thisGuy]

yeah...depression happens when i dont live up to my own expectations or when people cant see the potential of a project (read: relationship) as i can.

most projects i just push and push till people respond. relationships, i expect the other person to do certain things. maybe i shouldn't have any expectations and just what i do...but then everything becomes meaningless to me and i would start playing with them

ive found that music i used to listen to when feelin low triggers a shadow of the bad mood too...frikkin Si

Does NT depression, or depression in any type for that matter, need to have an external trigger? I guess there probably is, but it is bound to be extremely complicated with some people. I was really content and actually getting on the path towards a healthy lifestyle and then all of a sudden I just felt sick and intensely upset all the time, and then I took the meds to balance out the chemicals or whatever and I feel fine.

I think it's often an energy thing. But, it could be triggered, sure. Things happen that can make you take certain unhelpful mental pathways until you circle down into misery.
