I know it seems that way, but I've come to think that all our "hurts" are unique, and one is no better or worse than the other. Those other people may never even be able to handle depression if they had it, we'll never know. Don't underestimate your pain, emotional pain can be worse than even physical pain. And, remember, often physical pain is treatable in very obvious and clear-cut ways, whereas nobody has nailed down the exact ways to deal with mental pain yet, they only have certain therapies that seem to work. Just because your pain is not tangible, doesn't mean it's less destructive to your quality of life. And, how do you heal something you can't physically see?
