theave. Something I say to everyone who feels like they shouldn't be depressed "because nothing's that bad in their life compared to some people" is this:

It's not how big or small the problem may be to somebody else that matters. It's about how it affects you.This is a very true statement and it took me such a long time to accept it, but I now accept it and can see that yes, people may be worse off in my eyes, but it's how my problems affect me that matters because they are only affecting me directly (and affecting others indirectly).

As for the images and sounds etc, I'm thinking it could be something to do with sleep deprivation, maybe you're not getting as much sleep as you think you are? Or it could be the fears showing their ugly faces because you sound afraid of losing the depression.

I know how scary losing depression can be. I'm in the process of doing it and it is so hard! I'm also in the process of getting rid of anorexia and anxiety etc. I understand how hard that is, but just remember how much of an achievement recovering from these things will be! Ok you might feel a little empty for a while, but that'll be a good empty that can be filled with something more positive. Treat yourself once you recover. Everytime you make a step towards recovery, reward yourself. It might sound silly but seriously, it works. I do it and it's helped me so much! I just want to pass the tips onto you

I hope that things get easier for you soon hon and please take care of you
