Normal is when you have complete and total control over your emotions. And the only time you ever feel bad is due to unfortunate life events. You can enjoy anything you want because you have all the motivation and emotional ability.my depression 5-9 days ago for 4 days was great. i was becoming my normal perfectly happey self. I always found it silly to be unhappy. At least for normal people without mental disorders. When you have the ability to enjoy anything then what is the point? With depression you dont have a choice and you feel bad uncontrollably. Before my depression I always felt my life is perfect, I was incredibly happy. My life still is perfect (in all the ways that matter) but the somewhat moderate depression prevents me from feeling that to the usual extent.
for me normal doesn't just feel decent or okay, for me normal is feeling perfect, because of course there is no reason not to be. take care
