When a person says they are unhappy with their life, why are people so quick to ‘diagnose’ them with depression or anxiety, or advise them to see their GP? Is it possible to just not be a very happy person, naturally? I mean, not to sound like my life has been a sob story, but I’ve been bullied throughout my whole life, had no real friends growing up, grew up on a broken home with not much money and have difficulties even today forming friendships and relationships, I’ve been through depression but I don’t feel depressed now I just feel unhappy, and I do think there’s a difference. Even when positive events do occur there’s still a tinge of sadness/unhappiness there which never goes away completely.
I read a story a few years ago about a teenage girl in wales who committed suicide and in her note she stated that she wasn’t depressed or being bullied,she just didn’t enjoy life, which I found interesting as I can relate to a certain degree.
I don’t know what I’m looking for in creating this thread, I just maybe wondered if anyone felt the same...
