I dont even remember the last time i laughed. I think it has become my normal life.I realize that im sad when i look at the mirror and see the frown in my face. It sucks to have comorbid conditions like depression and anxiety.

I'm depressed too. I have a lot on my plate anyway, plus the social isolation that would still be causing me depression if I didn't have all the other stresses.

I used to be depressed too. Most of the time now, I am happy. So, it is possible to reach a point where there is enjoyment in every day. I'm not saying this to rub your nose in your troubles, but just to let you know things can get better.

I haven't actually felt depressed for a long time. I've been finding happiness and joy in the little things in life and appreciating what I have. But for the last 3 days I've been feeling extremely depressed, like feelings of hopelessness and getting worried because I'm not doing the same things my peers are doing, like clubbing and working full-time. But both those are mentally exhausting and I just get tired and need my time to meditate (not like a Buddhist).
