Plenty of people really do live happy, fulfilling lives. It’s quite possible to achieve. But depression has a way of clouding your judgement, and stops you from seeing things that are right in front of you. It’s extremely challenging to pull yourself out of that, but it’s definitely possible. I wish you the best on your journey.

I realized that I phrased my point very poorly. I didn't mean that people don't do sports, eat healthy, and live fulfilling lives. They sure do. What I meant was that people (like when you ask them personally or in a survey) tend to exaggerate their healthy/good habits and downplay the bad ones. So it's good to take self-reports with a grain of salt. It's a well known kind of bias (social desirability).
