Man, I don’t even have a fucking reason to be depressed. So why the hell am I?! I feel so shitty and alone because everyone has legitimate reasons for why they are depressed in life, and here I am. Just some ignorant kid that doesn’t appreciate the good things.

Maybe you’re having an existential crisis, upon beginning to awaken to life’s inherent meaninglessness, and the disturbingly arbitrary superficiality of modern society?
Maybe you have a chemical imbalance? (ie: a legitimate problem)
If you “don’t have a reason,” then what is this sickness?
Take some quiet time alone, ask yourself “what do i feel, and why do i feel it?”
Hi Vodka,
I want you to know that you aren’t alone. I struggle daily with continuing on and I have no visible legitimate reason to think and feel this way. I have a beautiful loving wife, a steady job, a home, little debt and two little boys, yet I cannot shake the thoughts of sadness, worthlessness and defeat. Depression isn’t just a thing the truly down and out experience, there are many successful people who are depressed and the one’s who say things like “what reason do they have to be depressed, sheesh, cheer up” are the ignorant ones.
