You don't need a reason to feel "down" - feelings are just feelings and they don't necessarily correspond with anything else. But, in your case, you actually DO have a reason, if you need one. Major health problems are really stressful!!!
I know because I have Lupus and the depression and the disease really feed off each other. That feeling of not being able to trust your body to do what it's supposed to do, the uncertainty of not knowing how you're going to feel from one day to the next, and the loss that goes with having to make life changes to accomodate the disease, can really pull you down.
