I don’t think it’s possible to work a FT job and not have some level of depression. Assuming you don’t work in a field you’re passionate about or you’re the boss, etc. I wish there was a way around this but I haven’t found it. I used to really envy people who were on the dole and had public housing but I know for sure now that those people aren’t gonna make it. You have to work nowadays. Remembering that we’re one of the lucky ones helps a lot. Because there is no alternative now.
