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

It feels like you can do whatever you want, freedom. Waking up and being motivated to start the day.

Being depressed your entire life is a long time to be feeling sad, and with that, so many great things in life can be missed. You are not alone, many people experience depression, that is why we have professional help, so that we can learn ways to feel better and experience more positive feelings.

after living an entire lifetime being depressed, maybe the question is more likely that you would be a totally different person if you didn't have to deal with depression.. i like who i am with it or without it.

not sure, i stil suffer with depression tbh. it sucks and it brings my life down sometimes, but you just gotta stay strong my love.

It's exactly the opposite of how you process your thoughts ..you get to invest your time and energy o things what matter to you and your happiness

When you are not depressed, you don't worry about anything and your just happy but not all the time. You look forward to do things you want

your mind is clearer, you are more likely to accept your mistakes and forgive yourself, you do not overthink nor you blame yourself for other people's problems, yo enjoy doing things for yourself and comprehend that the others' opinions don't matter unless you want to, you feel free, free to experience things, to be happy or sad, or angry, or mad or frustated or whatever emotion but remembering that nothing is permanent, and most of things cannot be viewed only in a black or white schematic, but instead in infinite tones of grey.

A quiet mind, contented feeling . Able to relax and concentrate on whatever you are doing and not feeling the way you were before. That is what it's like to be without depression

While I haven't been depressed my whole life, I was stuck in a rut for a while. I felt empty like my life didn't have meaning. Then I realized I can make my own meaning. I feel happiest when I'm helping people. It feels so much more real than superficial things like fame or money. When I'm not depressed I live in the moment more & embrace the little things. Life feels like an opportunity rather than a chore. A lot of it is a conscious effort for me to see things that way but it gets more natural & it's totally worth it. I try to get as much as possible out of every situation for me & everyone else & channel every situation into something as positive as possible. I keep an open mind

I can't answer that for you I'm afraid, depression can be overwhelming but there will a time in your life that you are happy, no matter how far away it may seem.
