Is it normal for a person with chronic depression to not enjoy their vacation?

[Skyros]

I hate having this problem. It could be worse though.

I imagine it would be easy to think of a vacation as just a new place to go be depressed instead. I would think it's hard to enjoy anything and a vacation is probably no exception, and then some people manage to go on vacation and stress about everything instead of relax.

[Skyros]

Yeah, thanks for agreeing with me. I wish for one day I wouldn’t be depressed. I don’t wish it on anyone because all it does is rob a person of all joy.

Yes, chronic depression would put a damper on everything.

[Skyros]

That’s what I thought, thanks.

[petitedollbabee]

It doesn’t have to be that way though. There’s no shame in seeking help, in forms of therapy or medication.

[Skyros]

I see a therapist and take medicine and it’s still a war. Thanks for caring. It’s just my cross to bare.

Yes. If that's you, have you spoken to a doctor about it?

[NathanDavis]

did you go to London... it could just be London, lol...

[Alex-Snow]

It could be. Take time to try to see the good things as opposed to negative things. Try to get outside. Nature has a good way of healing.

In those terms yes, it's completely normal. Chronic depression definitely isn't normal though. I hope you're getting treatment.
