Is it normal to feel depressed when you're alone and think about the past?

Yes it is normal and sad to say but I think it puts u in a worse depression :-(

awww thanksyou ((: I only feel depressed when im alone, and I have nothing to do.

I know it sucks! :/

Yes it does, I don’t like to b alone either for the same reason, so I always try to have people around me, now don’t get me wrong every once in awhile u do need time by yourself to actually think, as long as it doesn’t disable u, u know wat I mean

then i agree with imlonely…surround urself with people that make u laugh & those that will keep you happy!

Awwww thx for agreeing :-)

I Think So.. I Have No Husband.. No Parents.. No
Grandparents Find People You Feel Happy Around,, Call Them.. Text Them.. Be Around People Who Make You Smile.. I Have My Writing. And My CDS And My PARC Friends And Church Friends. My Neighbors Are Nice Too.Do Things That Make You Happy.. Find People Who Love To Do.. What You Love To Do

yesss, ivee been alone for almost a week cuz i have a concussion and i cant go out,, and ive been feeling like sh*t :( but luckily i have a pretty loud stereo that lets me drown out my depression :) and my headaches are solved with advil haha ;)

yes very much so

People throw words around like depressed and confuse them with depression or major depressive disorder. Is it common to feel SAD when you’re alone and think about the past, yes. It is also common not to feel sad. Some people like to reminisce.

I agree on that…but…the second it becomes more like having aching pain, loss of energy, loss of desire to live, loss of desire to be around people, loss of that zest for life, loss of will to get motivated or get some help & begin having thoughts of su!cide is when I call it depression!

There is simply being down, and being depressed.

yes. But that is a mood disorder and is not likely to be caused by simply thinking about the past. Also it has to last for a significant amount of time, and either cause impairment or distress.
