i hate myself for feeling this way. being depressed. wanting to die. i have no reason to feel that way when others have it worse. i have everything i could ever ask for, so why do i feel this way?
Perhaps you share a common characteristic with all other himans, regardless of social economic status – perpetual discontent. Is anyone around you, in your family, happy? For more than the briefest periods of time? Do any of us know “how to be happy?” No. We’re all fairly clueless, in spite of the material trinkets we “own.” Chuckle. That’s funny. “I own. ” Own what? Nothing.
Maybe you’re someone with a genuine neurochemical imbalance, in which case antidepressants might be effective. Or perhaps you’re just genetically disposed to feeling like this? If you’re content with your life circumstances, and there’s nothing in your past particularly tormenting you, it could just be purely biological. I think there’s always a reason we feel the way we do. Unfortunately, although we can often effect them, we don’t get to choose our feelings. Otherwise no one would ever feel extreme pain.

I’m also high right now.
