I Battle Self-hatred, Anxiety, And Depression

I was in 7th grade walking home from school when I thought to myself was I happy. I wasnt getting bullied anymore I had friends my grades were good the homework was almost nonexistent but was i happy. I didnt need to ask that question before that because the answer then was no. i was getting bullied all I thought about was surviving until i could leave that school and never look back. but then in 7th grade everything was going my way I should have been happy but i wasnt just asking the question of myself made me feel that gap in my heart that small hole that i never noticed before. that night i dreamed and it was of her, i could see her smile, i could feel her warmth, she felt like the moon to me i wanted to serve her i wanted to worship her i would challenge the gods for her. thats what i felt when i woke up the next day knowing two things. 1 she was my happiness,2 she wasn't in this world of ours. thats when my depression began. then 2 or 3 years later i realized how pathetic i was. instead of trying to make myself better preparing myself doing everything i could to be worthy of her i despaired at her absence and wallowed in self pity. then i realized how stupid i was other people are depressed for legitimate reasons i basically rationalized myself into depression how could i compare myself to or talk to people who are depressed.

You can't gauge the legitimacy of your depression by comparing it to others. Reach out and talk about it. I've learned a lot about myself in the last 15 years (that's when my depression started... 15 years ago tomorrow). Don't go it alone Max. Message me if you want but either way I wish you well.
