No you are not. Thinking like that is a symptom of depression. It is perfectly normal but there is help available.

I was talking about anti depressants :). I use prozac and it helps a lot.
assistant
Self-disclosure
Prozac? Could you tell me more about it...?
user
null
Yes - it is an anti depressant drug that was developed about thirty years ago. It works by preventing your brain from reuptaking serotonin
assistant
Information
Is that some kind of hormone that makes me feel down?
user
null
Serotonin actually makes you feel good. In a depressed person it can be reuptaken by the brain too rapidly however, leaving you feeling low. Prozac prevents this from happening. I hope I have been able to help you. Enjoy your day!
