I've been struggling lately with something I can't quite explain, and I was hoping someone here might have some insight or shared experience. I've been getting bouts of depression that seem to come out of nowhere. There's no obvious trigger; no major life event or ongoing stressor that I can pinpoint. One minute I'm fine, the next I'm overwhelmed by a deep sadness and hopelessness. It's incredibly jarring and frankly, quite frightening. I'm worried it's something more than just a passing phase, but I also feel silly seeking help when I can't identify a 'reason' for feeling this way. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice or suggestions on how to navigate this would be greatly appreciated. I'm considering seeking professional help, but I'm hesitant to do so without understanding if this is a common experience or something more serious. Thank you for reading.
