Oh, I think it absolutely is a sign of depression.
Life is hard, but I enjoy the vast majority of my time. Here’s my schedule:
Get up to the sun shining most days, enjoy a breakfast with minimal effort, and dress in clothes I didn’t have to make
Go to work in a temperature controlled environment with modern conveniences
Get home, watch shows and play games while machines clean my clothes and dishes
Go to sleep after listening to some truly great content on a modern marvel that fits in my pocket
Or I could tell it another way:
Get up late because my phone kept me up at night, and eat crap cereal because that’s all I have time for
Work in a soulless env with people I don’t like, taking breaks only to piss
Microwave dinner because I’m too exhausted for anything else, and waste time on shows and gacha games because that’s all I have the energy for
Doomscroll on my phone because I went to put off doing it all over again as long as possible
Most of life is about perspective. It turns out that you’ll find whatever you’re looking for, whether that’s joy or misery. If you can’t find the good, you’re probably depressed and should seek help.
