something is wrong? i dont know that there is anything really wrong with me. i think i posted this before but dont know that i got many answers. i have been in "therapy" for about 8 years. not really sure why i am in therapy. they throw around words like depresseion and bi-polar but no one has said hey, this is it and why. i have no real reason to feel like crap. no major calamities that are not normal "bad things". i keep telling myself to stop being a baby and just snap the f out of it, but that is not working. my friend keeps asking me y i feel the way i do and i have no answer. i dont think that i have a right to ask for help if even i cant figure out what is wrong. any insight or advice would be welcome. thanks

Aside from the chemical side of things, what we think about and what we are exposed to is going to have an affect on our over all well-being.
Feeling undeserving is another kettle of fish though. I don't consider myself to have a right, or to not have a right to ask for help. It's irrelevant to me.
Sometimes I ask for help, sometimes I don't.
Diabetes doesn't have a trigger for someone to become diabetic, yet they need monitoring and/or insulin; this is what I compare organic mental illness to. Its just one of those things.
Therapy and medications are ways of exploring and controlling the illness. Don't give up and don't beat yourself up. You're not alone.
