Anytime I've been depressed, I've noticed its been correlated with being over-worked at bad job like a customer service call center that doesn't pay jack shit, been around people who can't have more than a surface level, shallow discussion, or I haven't had a clue what I want to do for work/career, leaving me feeling lost.  I talk to a therapist and told her I'm not interested in taking medication for feeling depressed which she jotted down in her notes "won't take medication".  I think to myself, and I understand for certain people and their situation..medication is helpful, but is medication supposed to make some people who understand their reality quite well.. "content" with a shit situation?  This concept to me is terrible.  It's the system and the way things are that is depressing.  If you don't want to sacrifice your life and work 40+ hours a week at some place you could care less about just to keep a roof over your head, there is something wrong with you?
