Some good quotes here, but 22 was honestly triggering and offensive. Depression isn’t the same as being ungrateful, it’s a mental illness. Maybe it’s just me being sensitive, but it has an accusatory tone towards people with an illness that isn’t their fault that they are trying so hard to fight. Just “being grateful” and “thinking positive” doesn’t cure clinical depression. There are chemical imbalances and invasive thoughts and so much more going on that is incredibly difficult to heal. Some people are depressed and ungrateful, but being depressed doesn’t mean you are ungrateful. So yeah. You can be depressed and grateful. Sorry for ranting
