I’ve finally made an account on here. I don’t know where this will take me but it’s a relief that I’m not the only one thinking/feeling this particular way about life. I should be grateful that I live in one of the “best” first world countries in a middle class family with shelter, food, water, and many opportunities in life, but that’s not the case. I’ve been clinically depressed for 4 years now which has made my life a living hell. It’s almost as if a switch was flipped, one day I was really happy and the next day everything took a turn for the worst. I feel as if I shouldn’t be alive since I’m just taking advantage of life knowing that someone with less than me would love my life right now. Who knows what the future might hold.

Welcome to the site. It’s typically quite supportive here. Depression doesn’t discriminate. It doesn’t care about income, appearances, geography, or anything else. You have as many reasons to be alive as anyone else. Nobody is more or less important than anyone else.
Depression is situational for some people, but for others it is endogenous (and can be a combination too). Having a good life doesn’t prevent depression any more than it prevents chronic migraines. It can happen to anyone.
“Who knows what the future might hold” Exactly. Your depression might get better or even go away entirely.
I think you’ll find a lot of company on here. I especially identify with your next to last sentence. I feel like I should end it just to open up a spot for someone who might actually be able to use their life for some good purpose. No special reason, I just don’t want to hang around for much longer either.
Welcome. I hope we can fulfill whatever you may be missing you in your life. This is a supportive community, don’t worry about what you post. Just about anything (within reason) is allowed here. Whether you’re a writer, a poster, an artist, or even a singer there’s a place for you here.
Some of us are suprisingly chipper for a bunch of depressed suicidal people. Welcome!
Thank you all for the warm welcomes.
