No, it's a mental illness. You might need to get checked yourself, frankly. If not for depression then for anxiety. You seem the type, most "by your bootstrap" types are.

Not convinced? Study brain chemistry.

It doesn't matter what your belief is. There are known chemicals that are responsible for feeling different states. If you are short some chemicals you don't choose how you feel. They involuntarily control you. This is known science, not a matter of opinion.

No. It’s not. As someone who was diagnosed with MDD (major depressive disorder) in 2020, I can assure you that it’s not a choice. Your brain chemistry is literally unbalanced. Definitely not a choice, my friend.

I agree with you. Unless you've had a lot of really bad luck, you're probably about as happy as you want to be.
