LonelySutton said:Yes. But I am not sure it is depression more likely reality.
I used to enjoy movies and I couldn't imagine that I wouldn't always, but, now I don't. Because most movies (or stories) involve things that have happened to me. Entire wings of movies are not attractive to me anymore because they touch on a bad memory for me. Such as, someone dying from cancer. I know the reality. A legal courtroom drama... not interesting as I know the reality. Now have to carefully screen what I am about to watch to make sure it won't upset me.
I used to enjoy eating but now, I know too much. I know how bad most ingredients are for you and how hard it is to find things that work properly.
When I was a kid I used to have "hope" and that hope can be considered "ignorance" because the "more you know" the more life is depressing.
See the thread waiting to die.
