I Have a Question

I feel so selfish and stupid for getting so upset over my anxiety and depression, I know that people go through way worse but I guess people shouldn't compare situations as we are all equal at the end of the day. At the age of 17 I never thought I'd have to struggle with this, I just feel so emotional and alone. I don't understand why I get like this, and how. I just want to be happy, I don't want to hate myself. I just want to cry it all out :(

You're dealing with so much at your age. Wanting to be happy, trying to make others happy. Trying to live up to what people expect you to be. You'll be the happiest when you realize, you can only be who you want to be. Not worrying about what your family expects from you. Or what society thinks you should be.
