I read this earlier, and I'm sorry I didn't respond then but I couldn't think of something appropriate to say.

First though, your pain and your troubles and your life experiences are YOURS and are valid, and should NEVER be compared to anyone else's. Some people may seem to go through more stuff than you, but chances are that person thinks that you or someone else goes through more crap than them. Comparing just devalues who you are, and what you've gone through and hurts you more. That's not fair to you at all.

I seem to go through phases where I wonder why I'm depressed or why I self-injure, and I really can't think of any good reasons. Like my family isn't perfect, but they're far from being the worst people on the planet.

It's all a matter of perspective.

You came here for a reason, and that's good enough for me or anyone else. You don't need to prove yourself to be here, because we like you just the way you are.

Be well.
