What causes sadness and depression?

[Billy]

I've been struggling with depression and feelings of intense loneliness for a number of years now. I've just accepted that it will always be with me in one form or another. It is always there in the background and sometimes it will come to the foreground and make itself known with quite an intensity. I used to be on antidepressants but came off of them a little while ago, which was hell.

I don't really have any solutions but just wanted to let you know that you are not alone in your experience Gemini. Thinking of you often makes me smile, and for that, I want to thank you.
