P.S. Please spare me all the “don’t kys” comments, I’m fine, I still need to outlive my abusive parent.

    People that say that don’t understand the difference between having a bad experience vs having a miserable life.

    My depression only lets me see the worst in everything; then the mind falls into a familiar cycle of hating myself and not wanting to exist anymore to stop the pain. This problem is permanent.

    This not to be confused with grieving for a failed relationship or losing a job or losing a loved one. Feeling sadness is a typical experience just by being a human. This type of problem is ‘temporary’ even though it can last a long time.
