View submission: People WITHOUT depression and anxiety, what is life like?
"I'm worthless. I'm ugly. I'm not a good person."
It's not always the case for depression to be focused on internal issues. For me, peronally, it was about grim darkness and hopelessness of the whole world around. I've managed to hold the blame off of me and currently I don't have depression episodes (or rather they're rare and low in magnitude), only the anxiety part.

have you actually been diagnosed? Ecological anxiety is very different from regular depression and/or GED

Yeah, I've found several people who catastrophize about the world and how there's no happiness or joy left. For me it was pushed internal more of a "no one would miss you if you were gone" rather than a "we're gonna die anyway, so why not get it over with" if that makes sense
