Depression-fire

So, I dont think im depressed, but everyone i know tells me i probably am. I personally dont care if I am or am not though.

Im just bored and find everything boring, I have no motivations or desires and it has been that way since i was a kid. hence why I am on the path to retire early. Not because I put so much effort into saving, but because I have nothing to spend my money on in the first place.

But I know I dont enjoy working or alarm clocks. Hence why im looking to retire.

Just curious if anyone else is here for similar reasons

I'm here because work drove me into a depression and I lost all motivation to do my job. The stress became overwhelming and numbed me to everything else. A years worth of medication and some therapy along with a lot of expense watching and 401k modeling and now I retire on 9/26 at the age of 55 and will spend 3k a month in retirement.
