Wonder what other people’s opinions are on this. Since I was diagnosed as depressed, I`ve wondered if I am really depressed, or if I’m actually quite rationale and see the world clearer than those around me. It just seems to me that I have a poor job in a terrible economy which only looks likely to get worse. We seem to be ruled by unaccountable self serving individuals out to line their own pockets. Society seems to be falling apart. On a personal level, I seem to fail at everything I try to put my hand to. So, in my opinion it is correct that I feel so down, and it confuses me other people I know, who are unemployed and facing even tough times, are so upbeat. I’m sick of all this upbeat, head in the sand rubbish which people seem to have to do to make their lives bearable. People have even suggested I stop reading newspapers because they get me down. To me, that would be even sadder, as it would mean embracing the ignorance is bliss approach. I really don’t see why thinking I’m a pathetic failure in a bleak unforgiving world is incorrect. I just feel like I’m being honest with myself.
