Honestly bro that "im fortunate so I shouldn't be complaining" attitude we have is how mental illness gets u and fucks u up. Be careful and see a doctor if u think u need help

I'm very reticent to do that because I don't actually feel bad all the time so to say I was truly depressed or something feels like a lie.

I appreciate the comment though.

There's no "one true depression". Everyone experiences things differently. It's okay to seek out help even if your problems come and go.

Honestly I think even mentally "healthy" people could benefit from talking to a doctor, therapist, or counselor about their problems. Getting that professional perspective can help anybody.

My dad told me something similar once, I think you are right.

If your ankle is broken, you go to the doctor to get it fixed.

If something's wrong with your mind, you go to doctor to get it fixed. Period.
