Hi sophiesmom
Well you probably already know that I'm going to try to dispute some of those thoughts

because as you already know, I'd say

!!!!
But...........I'd say Mickey and Jennifer are spot on!!!!
Depression can tell you and make you believe the most
untrue, hurtful things about yourself

And I know sometimes it can be so hard to tell yourself otherwise.........but if you can at least try to remind yourself that it
is the depression..........and if you can't stop yourself feeling those things then maybe at least tell yourself that "Yes, I
feel........but that doesn't need to make it true".........don't forget that
feel factor.........because just because you feel something, and those feelings may be very real........that doesn't actually make it real/
true 
And with depression, maybe (obviously!!) there are things that you can't do/say which you'd like to........but that's down to the depression.......not down to
you........and that doesn't make
you any the less worthy.........any the less important.........matter any the less.........as you know there are plenty of us on here who really value you..........who see past the depression..........who see through the depression to
you
As for a ratings system........my rating is:
