I have always been a v happy person no matter what the situation.I was a good student but never got a position whereas my all brothers and sisters did but i was happy with my good marks.I had far more confidence than anyone of my brothers and sister,i was their leader all the time in deciding what to do.Have always had friends whom i have always enjoyed with.Very good relationships with all my family.In the end i ended up in a far better job and pay i had expected.
And when all is well i get depression and have to start medicines.Now after being on medicines for about 6 weeks i feel ok and am out of that depression.My apetite,my sleep is normal and i feel so good.But why did i get depresion that is what i dont understand.
Can a person get depression due to overwork??

I am not a psychiatrist.
My two cents:
Not over-work, but yes over stress. You seem to be too competitive, too attached to what you have / have not been able to achieve. The nagging feeling of proving that you are the best, the urgency of showing that you are better than others, the anger and frustration of showing nobody beats you that should be a problem.
Getting a better job does not get love, but probably showing affection, understanding and appreciating the difference between brothers and sisters does. A better job does not make others less. I hope you got the point.

I also have some what similar situation.
I have had an extremely stressful lifestyle in the last months and still have. But the strangest thing is that I am very confident, I am happy with myself. I was sad due to divorce but I was sadder about a year ago I am over it now. Almost never think about it.
Suddenly I noticed that I sleep less than before get up in the night and felt all the things a person feels in a panic attack. Fast heart beat, sweating, had a constant feeling of extreme restlessness in my entire body. All of these things did become better in the weekends or in holidays but my energy level was zero. I was unable to do normal work at job as I was so tired all the time. I cut my days short as it is a private job. I lost 4 kg of weight and felt clearly that if I don’t start any medicines now I will loose my mind. All my family members have depression I think it has more to do with inheritance.
I am perfectly happy and satisfied with my life and don’t regret anything. Don’t get it why I got depression?

@
Isn’t it your “hate myself” that’s causing what you are facing?
Could it be that you think you might be loved if you are down?

:(this is the fate…I don’t like my self … and that is because of many reasons… There are like so many examples I don’t even remember and can’t even explain …I will get short of words…that have proved again and again that I am a low life and nothing else… I had a girl friend that used to be my cousin … not that she was my direct cousin but in directly she was … I asked her out …and I repeat I asked her out and she said yes. I loved her more than any thing you people can’t imagine how much I loved her and wanted to take care of her…

When she was with me …I was depressed not because of any other reason but just because of me things that … proved that I am a low life… I told her every thing and the end result that she gave me that I am extra sensitive …well apart from that …after like 9 months of our relation ship I got a message from her that gap between us has increased… and blah blah … and that she doesn’t think that she loves me any more… And that was it the moment I heard these words well saw these words because I never ever called her.

that’s my another problem even though she was my girl friend I never had the guts to call her and talk to her and that’s true… 9 months and we never talked on phone just messages.. She used to say that call me and all but she knew at the same time that I wont because I don’t have guts and all and she was comfortable with it…. now we've be apart for like 6 months and I really miss her … she insults me when ever I message her …But this insult is the problem I have started to love her even more…

She doesn’t insults me just because I am teasing her but just because she wants me to hate her so that my pain finishes but I just cant forget her …and why I cant forget her is the fact that when she was with me I was very much relieved I knew I have someone besides me all the time …and guys she is/was/will be sincere to me coz I know her … very well … I am a complete psycho …this is a fake profile just coz I can write every thing I have with in me … so that my friends and family don’t come to know about this ..

I have started talking to my pillows that’s my condition… I don’t like my friends any more and I don’t socialize any more and in short I have gone mad .these sudden mood changes and some times it feels to just like kill any 1 to relieve this anger.. I was never use to be like this but now when I feel this despair and anger with in my self I hurt my self…
In short I don’t feel complete without her …she changed my life… and now things cant come back to normal and I can just cry and nothing else … though I would love to clear all these things with her …that I know I wouldn’t be … Can you people imagine I cant talk to her what a low life I am: @ :@ :@ :@:@: @:@ how will I clear things with her .. I terribly shiver when I start talking to her…:@:@

Yup really you are in a trouble..what i will suggest you to consult with a psychiatrist. probably he/she can help you as your conditions can be better by councelling. neways have a look what i found.
new study has found out that depression is good for health. It will make you a stronger person.
Personally, I agree with this very much. Although I get these bouts of sadness, I've made it a habit to shut down my thought process so that my regular mood swings don't affect my personality…as in, protects me from nurturing hatred and so on. So if you have depression doesn’t always get yourself worried sick about it. I think sometimes we even need depression to help us to sort out things…and how come we can value happiness if we don’t get deprived of it once in a while.
