I thought it was a meme on Camus and absurdism until I saw the sub. Hope y’all have good days ahead.
I laugh when people who are not depressed tell me that life is beautiful. No, it isn’t. Life is full of cruelty and suffering, a never-ending cycle of pain and despair. I would kill myself, but I am afraid of death. I want to stop existing without going through the process of dying. People have no understanding of this issue. I am fucking tired of pretending that life is worth living. Please do not respond to this post. Discussing this only makes my depression worse. Thanks.
You do you, man, but I will carefully suggest you try therapy. It exists for a reason. No need to reply, I don’t want to invoke discussion.
As someone who’s also diagnosed with depression I’ll at least say this:
It isn’t inherently a cycle of cruelty and despair. I mean the fact that people tell us otherwise means that, at least for them, it isn’t. It’s sad but there’s a lot to life that we’re just missing.
Edit: Idk what you’ve tried but 10 years of meds never solved anything for me, but psychedelics came close. I never appreciated life more than when I tried shrooms.
