Well what you resonate with is melancholy, sadness, misery — not depression. Depression is knowing that, say, being stuck in that relationship/job/location makes you miserable, knowing that you can and should get out or otherwise change the environment that's crushing you — and still believing the voice telling you that you should lay low and do nothing about it, that nothing you do matters and you shouldn't try to change it. >enjoyment to find in life is all the experiences along the way Depression is not enjoying anything anymore. Imagine all your favorite food suddenly tasting like paper. It's the same, but with everything you've ever done. Depression will tell you that this is just how things are from now on, and forever. That it's pointless to even try. Depression is not lack of happiness. Sadness, melancholy, even misery and pain aren't depression. I sincerely wish that nobody would resonate with what I'm writing here. But I know that there are many who would. And I want them to know that the voice telling all these things isn't you and is just fake news that your lizard brain broadcasts as a protective response to something that isn't even there. Being trapped in a bad job isn't the same as being trapped in a literal lion's den, but your lizard brain can't tell the difference.
