Not at the moment, though maybe my therapist would say I'm experiencing low-key depression. I'm clinically diagnosed bipolar, so I've seen incredibly much worse, as in paralyzing me with dread. But I found a partner who keeps me engaged and active and we started living together early this year and that has done a lot to keep me out of my head. 2020 was fucking doom because I lived alone and had no car and spent way too much time just cooking on all the things that could go wrong while isolating.
I expect a lot a terrible shit to happen where I am (USA) in the next four months. But I'm not thinking about it much. I haven't directly asked any friends, but I think I know one who would probably say yes to depression. But he's working at a soul-crushing job that I also once worked and for that reason I don't think he counts toward your survey.
Therapy and treatment really helps. Good luck.
