Depression this year

Anyone found their depression being worsened by the state of the world/society this year? I've been speaking to a few people who have, like me, found 2019 pretty unbearable for a myriad of reasons. But I wondered how much the social and political landscape has affected everyone or exacerbated symptoms, if at all?

Well I'm pretty much blackpilled, but then I was depressed, anyway. Doesn't help, though. Just deepens my sense of disaster.

Just a modly reminder that I think we can discuss this purely as it relates to our mental health, but in generalised terms- politics as a subject in and of itself is prohibited on PF- however this mod does recognise that as things disintegrate the effects of the wider world on our state of mind will become more difficult to parse. Still, just a reminder not to engage in direct political discussion, thanks.
