Yes. I've been there.

The suffering of others who you think are in a worse situation than you, does not discount your own. Yours is still just as real. If it wasn't real it would not be hurting you. We don't get to decide what hurts us and how much, we can only try to respond to it and deal with it to the best of our ability.

Please keep reminding yourself, that while outside factors can influence our depression, depression is still an illness. Illnesses do not discriminate between rich or poor, broken families or whole, "successful" or not. You can have the most wonderful life, and still get cancer. Illnesses are not a choice. No one would choose to continue to be depressed if that were the case. Things can be done to help you be healthier, yes, but there's no simple off switch. Please don't feel like you aren't allowed to be sick, or that you have not earned the right to feel negative emotion.
It is a huge task to heal from depression and go into remission even if you have absolutely everything you need to get better. So don't beat yourself up for feeling bad. It's okay to feel like shit. It doesn't make you a failure. It makes you human. Not every day of recovery is going to feel like you're doing much recovering.

It's okay to let yourself feel emotions freely. No matter how angry, miserable, or bitter or whatever they might be, no matter who they're directed at. Feeling emotions and accepting their existence won't send you sliding backward further into depression.

There is no reason, not one, why you don't deserve the same love you feel for your friends or family. You are just as worthy of your love as they are. ♥️

Your emotions don't care about other people's situations. They are only affected by what u experience in your life so if you're under constant stress, it doesn't matter if it's because you're homeless living on the street or if someone is constantly sending U nasty texts, over time it has the same effect on your mind and emotions... so yeah, you have every right to feel the way you do regardless of who has it worse off. You can hurt just as bad. Best advice, just submit to it and be a depressed person for a bit without constantly trying to fight it. It clears your mind a lot when you stop focusing on battling it and just let it happen 🤗🤗

i have gone through it.. ive felt okay lately tho.

me going through the worst phase actually

I am having a bout of it right now. You are not alone. You will never be alone💚

There are times I need to have a good cry, as much as I hate to admit it. I usually watch a sad movie to get the tears flowing. If you feel like you want or need to cry just let it out don't hold it back.

find something soft and beat the hell out of it! scream and yell till it's all out
