@ziphi Thank you for this post

Sometimes its good to hear one is allowed to enjoy stuff still and that it is necessary to only be negative all the time.

I am really lucky myself to never have experienced proper depression but it sounds so hard from what I heard from some friends.

Feel hugged for sure

But yeah its not the first time I heard about negativity being used to beat down people and split them apart from each other.

People like to make the argument (for some asinine reason) that things are Bad and it’s Not Normal to have happiness and you should be angry and upset all the time to suit their particular revolution.

Don’t listen to that kind of person; they’re toxic as heck.

Some happiness is normal. Even if you’re furious. Even if you’re grieving. You can and will find moments of happiness, sometimes simultaneous with the anger and grief. It’s normal and necessary. It gives people hope and hope is necessary to keep going.

But my brain sometimes cannot have even that. That’s how depression works. It just sometimes can’t feel any happiness whatsoever under any circumstance.

This is a disease, not a position of moral superiority. All it does is make it harder to find any hope or reason to keep going. It’s crushing, not something that inspires one to action.

Don’t listen to assholes who want you to be angry and upset exclusively.
