Is it normal for everything to feel so sad all the time?

[Notmymuse]

I conclude it is because life's shit isn't it but not everyone seems to feel like this. But I don't understand how they can't. At the moment there's nothing positive at all, nothing to look forward to, I just can't see the point in carrying on.
Nor do I understand why anyone sees the point in carrying on because really there isn't one is there? Life's just one long struggle, lurching from one disaster to the next.
Isn't that how everyone feels?

I believe there is some truth in what you say, Notmymuse. The modern obsession with "happiness" does not suit those of us with a more melancholic disposition. Perhaps the rest of them really are deluded idiots!

But . . . others are suggesting that you are depressed. So how about a little experiment? Why not try a course of anti-depressants, and then see how you feel? What have you got to lose?
