Sometimes it's really hard to figure out if I'm actually suffering from persistent depressive disorder, or if I'm just smart enough to know how fucked everything is.
Those aren’t mutually exclusive. And if you do suffer dysthymia, you can also have smaller individual bouts of depression on top of your long wave of depression.
It's not a a disorder if depression is a logical reaction to your environment (I tell myself)
In both cases you can't change the environment to change your mindset (the world or your neurochemistry). If you struggle there is help!
