I too have felt the way you are feeling. Feeling guilty for feeling the way I do when others have it so much worse. But your pain to you is the same as someone elses pain to them. It hurts and you have a right to the way you feel.

Comparing youself to someone else is not fair to yourself. Sure someone may have went through something you did not go through. But they have not gone through what you have gone through. No one walks in your shoes but you. Until we have walked there we cannot compare our pain to anyones. And even then it affects people in different ways.

What you are feeling is true to you. There is nothing wrong with feeling what you are feeling. Trying to make yourself not feel out of feeling guilty then adds to the pain and guilt you are already carrying.

Try to take care of you. Remember to breathe. And take one day at a time. Do not beat yourself up for that makes it worse. Accept what you are feeling and try not to compare yourself to anyone else. Pain is pain. What hurts one, may not be the same for someone else.

Please keep posting and sharing. We are here for you and we care. Thank you for telling us what is going on. I do validate what you are feeling. I have felt it myself.

Sending you gentle hugs and loving thoughts.
