I've been depressed my entire life, what is it like to not be depressed?

Its all about your point of view. Life can be beautiful or ugllu its all how you see it. Life is full of give and takes. With out pain you can't know love with out darkness you wouldn't know light

The best way to find out what it's like to not be depressed is to find someone to help you figure out why you're depressed. Then you can experience for yourself!

i like the same,we suffer and we feel the pain like everyone else you only need to search why we are here...

To a person who has never been depressed it is normalcy, It is how it is everyday. But for a person with depression it is like seeing the world for the first time. It is like when your cold and all of a sudden you get warmed by the sun. It is an experience that is indescribable.

Oh it is unfortunately relieving. You don't have the urge to cry all the time, and you are able to breath in fresh air

Calm. Honestly happy. Very less stressful. Feel optimism and other positive emotions to your core. Begin to believe in yourself. Truly believe in yourself. Declined fear and more courage.

For those who have suffered from depression, not being depressed it like a gift. It's like emerging from a tunnel and knowing you're free to do whatever you want. For those who haven't suffered from depression, it's just normal.

It is usually a lot easier , you don't tend to feel the same levels of hopelessness , emptiness or sadness etc that you feel when you have depression . It's still by no means perfect though and one will feel sad , lonely and stressed and all the other such emotions at times and there will still be daily struggles and hardships .

You feel motivated to do things, almost excited. You can always find something good about your day. I used to be really depressed, and I felt hollow and empty inside, but as I was getting over it, I noticed I began feeling happiness inside of me as an overpowering emotion, and I got excited about the smallest of things. Being happy is truly an amazing feeling, and I'm sure you'll get to feel it sooner or later, hopefully sooner.

Not being depressed.. Wow. Well really not being depressed-you feel free. Your happier. You dont feel the need to Self Harm or do anything that is Depressing. It just feels great. You feel like you arent alone in life anymore. like billy boy said there are many more aspects to your personality and you might not think it but i'm SURE there are. Look a little deeper and you will find that you are MUCH more than just anxiety and depression:)
