It's the exact word they use for one of the signs of depression. You may want to look into that. Things can be better.

That and life can train you to not trust your experiences as well.

“Home, home on the range,
Where the deer and the antelope play,
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word,
And the skies are not cloudy all day.”

As an English speaker I can say a lot of these words are used, but it depends a lot on the speakers literacy level

"Adventitious" is a good word. It means:

Arising from an external cause or factor; not inherent.

Of or belonging to a structure that develops in an unusual place. "adventitious roots."

Added extrinsically; not essentially inherent; accidental or causal; additional; supervenient; foreign.
