View submission: People WITHOUT depression and anxiety, what is life like?
Right on. Do you have a pet? I found that having a pet helped my mental health immensely. I got a dog 15 years ago when I was struggling with my depression and anxiety the most, and he lived with me for another 10 years before he passed away. Then I was lucky enough to live at a house that had a cat, and the cat was a big boost to my mental health. Now I own my own house (never thought I would be lucky enough to own my own house) and I have a dog again. I highly recommend pets for mental health, if you can have one.

Yes I have 2 cats! As annoying as they are some times, they have definitely “saved my life” by being companions through some dark times.
