Yeah depression just saps you of all of your energy and joy until you can't leave the house or get out of bed and the best looking option is to kill yourself at a young age, which many do. Much better than a terminal illness.

Sorry, not trying to be an asshole, but depression is AWFUL and I have almost killed myself so many times. At least a terminal illness does it for you. Oh best part is mine morphed into schizoaffective disorder. Which is schizophrenia + bipolar, and let me tell you, schizophrenia can be pretty terrifying, hardest thing I have ever dealt with. And I also have either CPTSD or Borderline (I've been diagnosed both at separate times but they look similar to doctors) which is no fun either. Though I guess if you are referring to OP, who simply appears to be suffering from anhedonia, yeah, that's not bad, antidepressants fixed my anhedonia.

Best part is the human race has determined I need to die a painful death (but will lose all of my friends and family first, MAYBE, unless they just kill me), because I didn't kill myself, so that's great. I am just counting down my days until they come get me.
