Anybody experience existential depression?

I was going to ask whether you mean depression from excessive idealism and over-thinking or from a lack of empathic relationship with others, but then I noticed your choice of user name suggests the former. Maybe I'm reading too much into it frown Anyway, if you'd like to chat about such things feel free to message me.

I'm sure others find this relateable.

Definitely. Depression seems to be the human condition. We can numb it temporarily or attempt to distract ourselves but the truth is always there, which is that life can be deeply unfair and it can feel like it is not worth living.
