Rach -
I used to ask myself that all the time, too. My life really isn't, and wasn't, that bad. And the people who remain clueless about depression will reinforce that - i.e., "Why can't you just..." You're already saying that to yourself. Sometimes there just is no reason, no "smoking gun" that you can point to. I'd guess you have a mental illness, something beyond your control, but that can often be helped with medication. Have you tried AD's recently? If you can swing it, it's probably a good idea now since you really want to make a go of your new job. Is there much stress involved in your new job? I know how draining that can be. I wish you the best, and remember to be kind to yourself, especially now.
