Almost every post I've seen from you is about how miserable you are/how horrible America is. I live in America and do think it sucks and is probably the worst developed nation in the world to live in, but at some point you gotta live with what you have. All that thinking about what's wrong with life is counterproductive, and you gotta just do what you can to make it more livable.

I hope that didn't come off in a "if you're depressed just stop being sad" way. I'm just trying to say don't give up on trying to find some enjoyment out of life, because if you give up you already lost. It is a struggle every day for sure

Edit: Just for clarity I don't mean "give up" in a morbid way but like, never leaving the house, shrinking into bad habits, etc.

If you're talking to me then that's solid advice but I've already heard it. I've been dealing with MDD again. Not to say my dislike for America stems from my depression, but my depression certainly makes it harder to deal with. I also recently lost my job and I'm going a bit stir-crazy. I think I need to get off of the internet for a while.
