It seems that nearly all of us here, feel like a failure at life (at living) (because of severe depression and anxiety etc.. ) and yet we are still here

I'm sure most of us have had mean people in our lives who agreed with this (assumption)

I won't post what popped into my head re the mother (IRL)

I'm not sure I agree that this is a "failure"

But what do I know, I'm just a fuzzy bear
