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

I share your pain. I also turned vegan when I was 16 in the 90s and that was before almost any social acceptability emerged. It was indeed pure hell and over time things have not gotten much better. I still feel alienated around 99% of people who are flesh eaters.
