Depression and Aniexity are part of life..there are usually good reasons to feel these feelings... totally appropriate...

If there is a death or illness, divorce, loss of job ...depression is the appropriate response....happiness would not.....

If your waiting on some news that effects you life....like waiting for a medical report, or on a deciision as to whether you got the job or not, or someone you love gets to where they ar going safely...also those thing produce anxieity, and to not feel those feelings wouldn't be natural...

The thing is to just be able to ride the rollercoaster of life...nobody ever promised you that it wouldn't rain on your parade...the trick is to take each hurdle as it comes, rolll with the punches and try not to let it all build up within yourself.

Also I feel if you can recognize that you depressed or anxious helps..then you can say yeah I'm depressed cause my cat died and my Porsche won't start.
