Do believe people who live a minimalist lifestyle are less depressed?

[Alwayreckles93]

I have been making my own research amd expert have said people who practice minimalism attend to not suffer from depression and attend to live more stressed free. I love love minimalism your mind is less crowded and you are more relax. Yeah minimalism lifestyle is amazing.

I’m glad you enjoy minimalism and you feel more in control of your life.


For me, minimalism just feels like a sacrifice, losing sentimentality and the meaning of those little knick knacks that bring me joy in their own way. Maximalism is honestly more my taste, even if it might be harder to maintain. I come from a family that regularly had junk drawers where we kept the spare pens, batteries, and whatever else you could think of that didn’t immediately belong somewhere else. I like having stuff, I even have my own little box of meaningless things like an old gameboy cartridge, a drawing my crush gave me in high school, one of those little fad toys that went around middle school, they’re all happy memories I like to have and keep.

I have always believed that most people live a "minimalist" lifestyle because they didn't have any money.

hoarding might be a sign of depression, but not minimalism... lol, I don't think so

[Alwayreckles93]

You are absolutely Correct!😊👍

The trick is to be happy with zero possessions. This is the key to happiness. I would be content with nothing therefore the little I have I'm extremely grateful for.

In 100 years we and our possessions will be dust and no one will remember us.

Yep it's good too not attach your life to materialism to heavily. Even a poor person in America can have what Kings could only have dreamed of in the past.

It seems like that's generally the pattern. Minimalism by choice. Taking good care of the things you have.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Probably so. I truly love the minimalist lifestyle. It feels so free and good to me.

[LiamJHayden]

Not being beholden to possessions seems like it would be freeing, so I'd think less depressed than the average.

[WhiteBoyChill]

I’d say so. And I enjoy it

[Alwayreckles93]

obviously no matter much I get shamed for being "cheap"

[Bklynbadboy12]

I'm very rarely depressed life is what you make it. Being stressed it a choice I feel like this if you don't like your life then so something about it

[OddBeMe]

Doubtful. I’m not sure they’re more, though. Depression usually has an average like everything else.

[Lynx122]

Yes probably :)
