Everyday life
i don’t know why I am so sad. My life is basically “perfect” yet I feel so depressed which makes me even more upset because knowing I’m so blessed in life makes me feel like I’m being very selfish and that my feelings are invalid. :(
just because you are blessed and you know it, doesn't mean that you can't be sad. you can be grateful for what you have without being happy with it. your feelings are valid, you are not selfish but rather the opposite. you noticing that there is a lot that you are blessed with while also being able to admit that you are unhappy shows me that you are very strong not selfish.
I often have those feelings as well. I usually discover there is an unsettled reason but also, some times life just takes us by the tear drop. I'm glad you expressed how you're feeling here. Thank you!
Depression is brain chemicals. It isn't your fault. Your brain is doing things that make it harder to manage emotions and it can have nothing to do with how "blessed" you are. The pain is still real.
What are you doing to manage that pain?@thegirldragonfruit
