You all came about these problems honestly, you deserve sympathy and help for persevering through your experiences. While I am a scumbag who cant help but be depressed/anxious and have no justification for it. So I take up psychiatrists/therapist/meds that people like you have EARNED, and I then post on forums with people who are bravely living through real trauma and problems and feel I have the right to complain. Like I said, im a scumbag. Suicide isn't an option of course, but if a meteor crashed into my room tonight killing me and only me, it would be deserved and welcomed.

I don't believe you are a scumbag at all. We all can find people who have had easier and harder times than ourselves. That being said, I have felt exactly how you described like I was taking away therapists/meds/time on this site from people who really need it. You deserve help, just as much as anyone. It does not matter the source of your depression.
Depression is awful, and you are right it isn't fair. I also can relate to the struggle to find the right med, it is very frustrating. You are not alone in this, and you deserve as much help/support as anyone else. Take care of yourself, and keep reaching out. You are not alone.
