          Never be sorry about stuff like this. You are not dumb just for missing some random comment on the internet. :)

          Semicolon tattoo gang member checking in. I am not a bot.

          Being “high” on depression sounds very snarky and I do not believe you. I wish you to be well.

          This is me reaching out to you, saying the world is a better place for having you in it. If you disagree, I insist that you send me a PM so we can talk it over.

          You are a worthy human being.

              I’m not a native English speaker.

              Neither am I, but I’ve yet to meet someone enjoying depression to the point of getting a “high” out of it.

              Time may be linear, but life and learning is not. I’m 49, and was diagnosed with adhd at 47 – let me tell you, that put my past in perspective. I, too, have had many, many more failures than I’d like, and have had my battles with my inner demons. I’m still around, and want to provide as much compassion as I needed then. So I’m very glad to hear back from you, total stranger.

              Be proud of your core identity. Have faith that things will work out. They may not be perfect, but in life there is zero guarantee of things being “fair” so be greatful for what little you feel that you do have going for you. I’m cheering for you.
