Hi all, so I just wanted to ask and see if there's anyone else who has faced symptoms of getting more depressed as they got older? I was never really the happiest kid around or anything when I was younger, but I definitely have noticed my mental health deteriorating more and more as I got older, and although I have found ways to cope and to take care of myself better, I guess it's always nice to know you're not alone either, you know?
I am very lucky to have a really close-knit and supportive group of friends along with a very kind and gentle partner, but that doesn't really help at times whenever huge waves of depression just hit out of nowhere you know? Some days I feel just fine and I'm as happy as can be, and other days I wake up in the morning and just never want to get out of bed, let alone eat, shower, or just do anything. Idk, it's hard because as I'm getting older I now have to deal with more "adult" responsibilities, but some days just really feel like they aren't worth it.
