I am sorry to hear that. I doubt people in 1800 were as depressed as we are these days. They walked up and down to work, where happy with a piece of black bread or some potatoes and fell asleep.
The society we live in has a certain pressure plus most you earn are taxes or bills pressed upon you by the government. The harder you work the less you earn. That's the main reason why I gave up on working 60-80 hours a week. It didn't benefit me.
I hope you are less busy now and have time to enjoy doing nothing. Stay safe and thanks for your answer. 💕
