Do you compare your life to others?

I guess that's what fuels my depression the most

Don't do that. See what you've got and appreciate it. You'll see someone with a trophy wife/husband and mega bucks and think "What if?" I don't.

@uncalled4 I'm very competitive. Ambitious. A little too much. Hence why I'm never content. I would like to be. It's such a bad and toxic habit to compare myself because it makes me miserable. I need more gratitute journaling or something.

@Juvia But that's also typical of your age group. Not being ageist, it's just something that happens.

@uncalled4 I think some it is biology to some extent. I read up on it at one point but forgot how it related to that.
I think I got in the habit of using it as fuel. Because when I saw someone doing better than I was then I would work better.
