The saddest thing is that nobody seems to understand having depression is not my choice

I don't want to be depressed no more than anyone else

I've read Alan Watts, the Stoics and Buddhism stuff

I tried going to Church, to seek community, but i can't pretend i'm religious when i'm not

I have called everyone in my area, many times, nobody could give me an appointment

Already on drugs, but taking them makes me feel more shit, because then i have a thought that i'm a broken person and can't live a normal live without depending on meds
