One day you will experience real trauma and have no idea what to do. Hope it works out for you.
Define real trauma.
Loss of a parent?
Spouse?
Child?
Near death experience?
Traumatic injury?
I've lost most of my family to the big C.
I've nearly been killed half a dozen times because of accidents. Have accident PTSD because people decided pulling out in front of me when I'm at hwy speeds is a great idea. These days the pulse just spikes and the adrenaline makes me leave a hand print in the wheel.
Injuries happen. Even permanent ones.
I still feel no need to let it determine my life.

Count yourself blessed.
I would’ve said the same thing for the first 35 years of my life FWIW.

I was told by someone you have to put yourself at risk once a day to keep yourself balanced. This was after he hit 101 mph on river road one night and scared the shite out of me.
According to him thats how you keep life in perspective.

So you are dumb enough to believe that people a few hundred years ago didn't deal with depression?

A close friend of mine walked in on her dad hanging from a rope
I'd say that's pretty traumatic

Sure put to pretend it has no impact is just asinine
You even claim to have PTSD

I can't say exactly what someone told me about this once, but they said they really wish they were dumb and did nothing but drink beer all day.

I don’t think anyone’s saying they couldn’t sympathize with your friend or someone who’s lost a child or any number of other tragic situations. Being depressed due to a bad breakup or the weather getting colder or it’s dark at 6pm………that’s just life.

I remember that about your son on here. I lost my dad at a very young age and don't have depression or anything, but I didn't just take a deep breath and go about my day. I'm guessing you didn't either.

You can't understand depression until you have dealt with REAL depression.
I used to think it was BS until I went through it and let me tell you it sucks.

Man once you are in your late 20s you have to come with the reality of your situation. Your family situation, etc and move on. Everyone has some type of issues, don't let it hold you down.. Move on and make your own path.

Taking a lot of dicks would make you stress free.

I was called to my mother's one morning...not unexpectedly.
I asked if she was alive or passed as I was walking up by making eye contact with a paramedic on the front porch and making a thumbs up or thumbs down sign.
He made a thumbs down. Shook his head no. And then looked at me like a monster for being as callous as he was.
Take a deep breath, move on.

I’m type 2 bipolar, which comes with cycles of severe depression.
I have a great life. A beautiful daughter who loves me and wants to be around me 24/7, a wonderful, beautiful girlfriend who is the most supportive person on this planet, my own house, 2 cars(daily and race car), great friends, tall, dark, handsome, and muscular build, 100k+ salary plus another 25-30k in RSU’s. I travel, played college football, lift 4x a week, play basketball, etc, but still find myself extremely depressed if I’m off my meds. The portion of my brain that produces seratonin and dopamine doesn’t function properly. I envy those who live normal lives. When I got on meds and they got into my system, I was so upset that all of the emotions I was feeling previously, all the sadness, “normal” people didn’t feel. It was literally night and day.

It wasn’t, it was a daily struggle for 2 years straight before it started to ease up some. But it also made me realize that many of the things I let bother me before that were really nothing.

God made whiskey and beer.
And I don’t abuse either. But they are very good tools at times.
