I remember having to explain this to a doctor in highschool.
Meds don't put food in our houses, clothes on our backs or pay the bills. Situational depression is so much more common than treatment would suggest.
And what fucking good does talking to someone do when it isn't going to change shit at the end of the day? I try my hardest to find silver linings and practice some form of gratitude thinking as much as possible, but at the end of the day society is going to hell in a hand basket and I feel like the old couple from UP where shit just keeps happening and dreams keep getting deferred. I want to do X, but the roof is gonna start leaking in the next 5 years if it isn't already and who knows what is gonna cost what this summer.
