I constantly feel guilty because I know in the grand scheme of things I don't have problems. I have clean water, food, sanitation, a warm safe home, health care, education, equality of opportunity. Surely these are the important things, but I feel so empty, so lonely, so unhappy. Why am I so ungrateful, there are people who would settle for any of those basics I've listed, I don't deserve what I have.

Depression knows how to kick us when we're down and erodes our sense of worth, what you are feeling others feel too. Keep posting if it helps you, I'm here because there's no-one in real life that I feel I can tell.
