Instead of going through this and fixing my life, i'm outsourcing it on pills
Pills, especially ritalin have the side effect of being really hard to get off once your mind is ready to produce joy again. This might be a hard pill to swallow, but what you need is healthy habits.
Depression is not about logic. You can't think your way out of depression. Depression has emotion at it's core, and that's where you want to beat it. To start feeling good and balance your system, you need to do some trial and error to figure out what's wrong. If it's diet, let's say carbs give you adhd-like symptoms (like it did to me), that also translate into less quality sleep, you will get anxious and depressed. If it's a magnesium imbalance, say your digestive system doesn't absorb enough magnesium from your food or maybe you need more magnesium in your system. Then a sunflower snack 2-3 times a day for a few days might improve your condition.

I'm not a licensed physician. But I can help you find your path in life and work on killing your depression. I've helped quite a few people overcome their feelings of being lost in life, and their depression. myself included. I did so by guiding them through getting over their social anxiety, by fixing their diet (an almost-keto diet worked for me and two more people I've worked with). I know this sounds odd, but eat…
You're living in the shadow of someone else's expectations! Of course you're going to feel this way -- You don't deserve that, and emotions are going to ensue. That is the human in us, and that is the human in you. > Can’t make myself do anything anymore Your motivation is tapped out from carrying these weights you never asked for. It's not your fault you feel this way. > Im not achieving anything, no matter how hard…

> Seek therapy Therapy is not going to magically inject meaning in your life. Let's stop with the fake solutions.
There are hundreds of scientific studies about the efficacy of therapy in treating depression. It’s no magic bullet it works well for very many people. Stigmatizing therapy is not only counter productive, it can be downright dangerous. If you’re genuinely trying to help, please reconsider your approach.
You mean as making you addicted to taking anti-depressants all your life? Great solution.

So you also magically deduced that the author of that post had depression out of nowhere?

I never said it would? But it’s also not a “fake solution”, and your labeling it as such makes me question your motives for making such a claim.

I don't know, but have you considered taking some of your time to contribute somewhere helping others, either humans, animals, or nature around you? There are even things like the Rewilding movement where you don't really need to interact with anyone in person, and you can make a very tangible meaningful change, at your own pace.
I am, but i don't know anyone who could use my help and why would they want me to help them and not somebody else?
Then find somewhere where people are littering, and get a picker and clean that up too. Take a before and after photo. You'll soon find out that you're not useless.
Eventually that will help give you the answer to:
>and why would they want me to help them and not somebody else?
If you're having trouble with the above, speaking to a professional therapist might help.

OP stated it no less than four times already. Quotes:
1) I feel ashamed of being that guy who is always depressed 2) The saddest thing is that nobody seems to understand having depression is not my choice 3) I don't want to be depressed no more than anyone else 4) I don't want to be that person of which everyone thinks as depressed, it hurts
He also mentioned being on anti-depressants. Presumably those were prescribed by a doctor.
Your conversational style in this thread feels driven more by anger than a desire to help or learn.... so I'm going to bow out of conversing with you. Best of luck.
