I have been depressed for 7ish years now, so have I been "brainwashed"....? I know how I come across here, and it's not generous or kind.
I kind of have it fixed in my head that I'm a useless, unworthy, POS. I am having trouble finding anything that gives me another perspective.

I think everybody has good and bad points. My definition of horrible is someone like Ted Bundy. Like Mickey said, depression tells lies and it's easy to believe them while in that weakened state.
I don't believe you are useless. Just one sentence of your advice totally turned the way I was handling my daughter going off to college. I was having severe depression and bad panic attacks and I was really losing it. You said remember this is about her. Totally changed the way I was acting. It helped tremendously.
I posted on another of your threads. I hope you can find some relief and feel better soon.
