View submission: People WITHOUT depression and anxiety, what is life like?
I'm upvoting you because I understand completely.
I used to not get it, too.
I know what suicidal ideation is. I know what depression is. And I know how it sounds to you. And how the world looks like without any hope or any positive outlook. After all, I'm generation X also called No Future. And for me it got worse after becoming an adult. Burnout will take everything from you.
But as stupid and unreasonable as it sounds, your world changes if you look at it differently. Depression lies, it tells you there is no light, but actually your eyes are closed.
I know speeches like this just angered me. It was always "something different" and "you can't possibly understand". But it turned out that was never true. And it did help me to hear it again and again.
Sorry to bug you.
If there's the slightest chance it could help you or anyone else I will continue to preach.
I will never forget the man who finally reached me and will forever be in his debt. Even though he did nothing more than talk about his own depression.

You didn’t bug me, your words did. They annoyed me, not you. I understand your intentions, believe me. I just can’t ever see things so simply
