Actions may be "mature" or "immature" (by at least one person's standards) appropriate or inappropriate, helpful or destructive.

But feelings are not any of those things, they just are. We feel what we feel no matter where those feelings originate. In our case, many of those feelings arise from the dark negativity of our depression.

We may wish to guide you to an understanding that your feelings are "normal" under a certain circumstance (such as under the stress of finding a new job), or help you to see that they are manufactured internally without basis in reality (such as believing that you are unworthy of love because of an abusive relationship in the past). But please don't ever feel guilty for feeling one way or another, and never be embarrased or ashamed to express your feelings here. We are here to help you through the worst of those feelings, not to judge their "worthiness".
