This was definitely the case with me. Thankfully, I didn't have mental-health issues to deal with as well, because my fear was pretty big as it was.
Good luck, Q1C. There's plenty of good in the world as well, so long as you work to see it. Depression can cast a pall over everything, but like a pall of smoke over a fire, it doesn't mean that the sun's not there, it just means that you cannot see it because of your perspective.
