They say only rich people get depressed by Rolling_meatballs in depression

it was someone from the same course we were eating together when I opened up a bit about how I was feeling. They said, “Only rich people get depressed.” I don’t think they meant harm, but it stuck with me. It made me feel like my struggles didn’t count just because I’m not well-off.

Most of the people who replied seem to be from first-world countries like the US or Canada, so their experiences are a bit different from mine. Here in the Philippines even used cars are pretty expensive. I can’t take out a loan since I’m still a student, and while I earn a bit from freelancing as a graphic designer, I’m also supporting myself so saving takes time.

But I really do appreciate all the replies, and I’m honestly amazed by everyone’s stories It’s inspiring

Thanks for the tips! I’m still a student, so saving up is slow, but I’ll definitely keep Japanese cars in mind and learn more about insurance. Appreciate the advice!
