>>39421268You're aware that depression doesn't necessarily stop you from doing all that, right? You can still live a totally normal life and still feel like shit inside. Hell, the worse I feel the happier I look on the outside, even my psychologist told me I'm "such a fun and interesting person, love how unique you are, no other patient makes me smile like you! You're so full of life!" completely forgetting how moments before I told her that I always feel empty, never feel any emotions, I'm constantly living with indifference, lack of empathy, no energy, that simply existing is exhausting, etc. On the outside I'm someone happy and fun who studies, learns languages, is about to graduate college, is good with children and animals, is "the nicest person I've ever met", so on, but that doesn't mean I'm magically happy. There's no miraculous cure for depression, it's different for everyone, and doing certain activities doesn't guarantee you'll somehow get healed. Nobody chooses to feel whatever the fuck this is, so stop talking out of your ass.
