I've never suffered from clinical depression, but whenever I feel down I try to remember to count my blessings. I live in one of the richest countries in the world and am bathed in material luxuries (laptops, internet, double bed with cushions, central heating, microwaves, luxury food by the kilogram - I ain't going hungry, put it that way, free healthcare should I fall ill, and related, I'm not in agony through physical illness or injury, I'm not in prison so am free...etc etc etc etc etc virtually ad infinitum). The idea that I should be depressed, when 100s of millions of people on the planet are living in penury/destitution/war zones/physical agony/incarceration etc...me? Depressed? Don't be absurd.
