Depression isn’t being unhappy, wtf
Then why am I unhappy when I’m off my meds? Checkmate.
then why am I unhappy when im ON my meds? Checkmate. (send help, I went to the psych ward and it fixed nothing)
Keep trying. It took me over 10 years to find the right meds.
EDIT: This isn’t meant as discouragement. Most people find the right meds way sooner. The point is that it can take a few tries.
You guys have meds!? (/s. Working on it.)
It’s a meme, I wouldn’t take it too seriously. Obviously depression is more complicated than just feeling sad.
I realized I’m not actually depressed in a mind disorder sort of way because I was very happy during the lockdown when I was paid to just live and do what I want. Turns out it’s just being a slave to capitalism that makes me miserable.
Shit life syndrome is one term for it
‘You’re not depressed, you just have a rough life’ is the dumbest reason to invalidate people’s need for psychiatric help.
Stop gatekeeping depression and start acknowledging that people can be depressed from all walks of life.
