What if it's clinical? Clinical depression is physically out of the person's control if it's not treated with a prescription (and OP said their parents won't let them take medication) and mental illness couldn't care less what your income or net value is. Having nice things doesn't fix a chemical imbalance
Money can't buy happiness, and things are just things at the end of the day. Someone can have all of the money and nice things in the world and still have a dysfunctional, messed up life, and no one to depend on.
To be fair, there is always someone out there who has it worse than you, so by that logic, anyone with any problems at all is "ungrateful". Everyone's problems are real to them, though.
Like I said, things are just things, and I think someone who happens to be rich and have extravagant things, yet has no family, mental health issues, addiction issues, people trying to use them for their money and don't value them otherwise, etc., isn't really living that great of a life. I know for a fact I would much rather have my middle class life than some of these rich celebrities' lives. All that glitters is not gold.
I didn't say that. Though, it can be true in some cases.
Still ungrateful. They have it easy. No family? So what? Mental health issues? Get help. Addiction? Buy more drugs or go to rehab. People try to use you for your money? People are going to do that. It should be expected. Stop associating with those people. They're still living a good life. A better life most people can't have. All that glitter is gold.
You don't know if they have it easy because you don't know what their life is like.
No family - It can be very hard to have no one you're close to and can depend on. People typically don't have very many truly close friends that can be counted on in the way family can, if any at all.
Mental health issues - It isn't as easy as "get help", and it's often a lifelong battle, especially with the more severe ones. Their brains often don't function normally and it isn't as easy as "look on the bright side" or "be grateful" for those people.
Addiction - This often goes hand in hand with mental health issues. More drugs definitely doesn't make things better. Often, this is a lifelong battle for many people as well.
People trying to use you for your money - This is a lonely life because often these people can't make true friends and only have people who want something from them. Yes, they should stop associating with those people, but people are also deceiving. I'm sure this gets tiring after some time and they develop trust issues for everyone trying to befriend them.
You don't know if they're living a "good life", because you don't live in their shoes. If you want to believe money and things fix everything and are more important than mental stability, good relationships, and everything that creates true happiness and can't be bought, that's up to you. Though, people who do believe all that glitters is gold and use material things to make them happy typically never do find true happiness.
I'm beginning to think you're one of the many Wow/billy/etc. alts, so I'm probably wasting my time with this conversation. 🙄
i am not ok

Maybe. But you're still kind of ungrateful. If you have nice things and you're still crying about how horrible your life is, you're an ingrate.

I never said it could. If you are living the life most of us can't even achieve, you are ungrateful.

Depression is a mental disorder where someone suffers from chronic feelings of sadness and hopelessness.
Typical internet idiot.
Fair. Being depressed and being ungrateful aren't mutually exclusive
