I’ve known since I was a kid that I’m depressed. I even have infant photos of me, where I look like I just hate life. Other baby photos the baby is smiling, and interested in everything. Whereas I look like even though I’m too young to even have thoughts, I’m still giving off body language of “leave me alone”.
But when I started asking everyone I knew if they too were depressed, I haven’t gotten one single person to say that they’re happy. Everyone has said they’re depressed. So now I wonder if it’s a regional thing, or if everyone everywhere is depressed.
Nearly everyone close to me is not depressed.
Hope things get better for you. Most likely they will.
I don’t trust anyone who isn’t depressed right now
Reminds me of these mgmt lyrics:
if you’re conscious you must be depressed
or at least cynical
