well, things weren't so good for me growing up.. or ever really, and still arent
but i do feel guilty as well, because im supposed to be stronger but i struggle with many things... i do tell myself as well that there are others who have it much worse and i should just snap out of it, but i cant either..

this is what depression can do to us, it warps our mind.. our thoughts.. everything begins to go through this filter of depression and we get the muddy water... we have to try to add another filter to re-filter the stuff so that its a bit cleaner when we get it, as thoughts and whatnot... its not easy, but this is the war that we have to go through..

anyone can get depression, anyone can get anxiety, anyone can get pretty much any mental illness.. and its not their fault, but its something that we have to work through right?
you didnt ask to be depressed, this is what i tell myself... didnt ask for these issues, dont want them, but i have them.. i dont use my problems to make others feel bad or guilty, dont try to take advantage of anyone because of problems or try to manipulate them through making them feel bad...
so i tell myself that i shouldn't feel so guilty... because its something that im working hard on, and one day will hopefully beat

try not to let that guilty feeling be too strong, try not to get angry with yourself...
be nice to yourself and take care of yourself, we care about you all

i dont know if it will help for me saying this, but you shouldn't feel guilty, this coming from someone that maybe could of had it a little worse..?
so if i feel like that, and im telling you not to feel guilty, and im telling you we care and that it doesnt matter how good you have it or bad you have it, depression is still depression, then you gotta stop beating yourself up right ?
and dont take it the wrong way, i dont like complaining about my life so im not trying to be all like "i have it soo bad" because theres always someone that has it worse... but just want you to know that we dont think your a bad person... and you shouldnt feel guilty about it because that will make you feel worse... you are struggling with mental illness and thats no ones choice
(most of the time)

hang in there.. try to do something nice for yourself, and dont feel guilty about it
