Thanks for posting this—I HATE this. I have major depressive disorder, and I've had it my whole life. I didn't know what it felt like to be happy and at peace until recently, on medication. My whole life people asked "Why?" "What's wrong?" "Why are you crying?" and didn't understand that I didn't understand why myself. It was so frustrating, especially as a child, not understanding myself why I felt that way or that it wasn't normal. Even now people want to know "why". That's why when I feel down I feel like I have to pretend I'm fine, or I lie and tell people I'm tired or my stomach hurts. They need a reason.
thank you
