Are you clinically depressed? For how long? Are you aware that not everyone experiences it the same way? Not everyone experiences it as you--possibly do, that is if you're clinically depressed.
Work is very different from socializing. Work requires work--socializing doesn't require productive output day in and day out. It's fun, sometimes. People have occasional moments that are positive; it’s not gloom and doom every minute. You don’t her whole story, nor do any of us. Maybe the rest of the time she’s in bed 16 hours a day. Maybe she showers once a week, wears the same dirty clothes endlessly, maybe she sully doesn’t go out or have anyone in, maybe she’s sui a lot, maybe she’s attempted, maybe she wasn’t having so much fun, maybe she was trying to put up a good appearance—something I’ve done a lot. I’m clinically depressed and have been for years.
I'm appalled at your comments because you could easily be talking about me. No vacation for me beyond one or two days in more than 10 years. I’d love it. You seem relatively clueless about clinical depression, and unable to look beyond your own experience.
