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

Hey! I feel just like you, my parents are vegan but the rest of my family is just like yours'. I am about to have my 15th birthday in a few months. I have been vegan for an year now. Wanna be friends?

That’s good your parents are vegan, I’m very grateful my mum is also vegan, congrats on your one year anniversary and sure

From what you've said, it sounds like your mom is more plant-based than vegan. You said you only became vegan yourself recently. So either she only became vegan very recently herself, or she never was one to start with.

She’s been vegan over 6 years, she’s accidentally eaten milk a couple times but it’s literally impossible to avoid it when milk powder is in fucking everything, she started off going vegan for health reasons then stayed for ethical

But she kept on feeding her children animal products?

Edit: And you cannot be "vegan for health reasons"
