Depression is a sign of success
someone once said to me that depression is a sign of success. When you are depressed you achieve more and you are more successful than when you are happy and cheerful. Depression in my country is never taken seriously, which is why I always come here. I thought about going to a therapist, but I don’t want to be the talk of his family after dinner, while sipping tea. I feel like my depression is the only real emotion I am welling to accept and feel, and I’d rather be depressed than happy.

Hello there Leehyuk!
It's positive that you are not looking at depression like something to be ashamed for! Sorry that the environment isn't accepting it, unfortunately not everyone is supportive and judgmental-free
If you feel to share if anything happened that led you to feel depressed, you are welcome to post again!
Sending you good vibes 🌸
I am sorry that it isn't taken seriously in your country. What you are experiencing is really hard and deserves sympathy rather than arguing that it is better than happiness.
How do you define depression and how do you define happiness? @Leehyuk
