This title is meaningless

I've been super depressed for several days now, and there doesn't seem to be a reason for it. Sometimes this happens and I just have to wait it out. It feels like I'm just drifting through life alone, not really doing anything while everyone else actually lives their lives and have people around them they're actually close to. I don't feel close to anyone any more, which might be a good thing as usually I get way too attached when it's not reciprocated. I do have to accept that I'll just be alone for the rest of my life though, which will hopefully make it easier to deal with.

I'm not sure why anyone would read this depressed rambling. I'm not actively suicidal right now, just immensely abnormal and broken. Sorry for taking up your time.

Depression has many causes, both environmental like due to events, but also physical causes.

I myself have comorbid depression with my OCD.

Medication help, as does therapy. A combination being most effective.

I have had CBT before, it works.
One thing is cognitive distortions.
You're doing that right now by saying you'll be alone your whole life. This is crystal balling and catastrophizing

Maybe start journalling these thoughts.

@basilfawlty89 journalling is all I use this site for at this point

@KiwiDan a different kind of Journaling.
Write these negative beliefs down, then ask if it checks these cognitive distortions

I've actually suggested to another member, maybe we should start a support group for depression and anxiety. Like a Discord group or something.
