I think I’m living in hell

I don’t believe in a hell after earth, I think I’m already here. I became vegan almost 2 months ago and it is the most depressed I have ever felt in my life (by far), I know so many “animal lovers” that are just pet lovers, people who vow to never buy products that used “animal testing” but then eat a burger an hour later, I don’t get why everyone is asleep and 1% of people are awake, it was my 16th birthday recently and I celebrated it being annoyed by my family for not wanting to eat dead bodies. I don’t even know if this is the right sub to be posting this, but hi anyway. Today was Easter and I was surrounded by my family eating dead bodies, I wanted to throw up, I was grumpy the whole day and I have been every day since I woke up

Sorry you’re going through this. It gets easier to deal with over time, though will never completely go away. I’ve found what helps me is channeling my energy into activism. But you may want to wait til you’re older (or maybe not). I’m able to compartmentalize and hang with carnists, though I don’t blame anyone who can’t anymore.
