I was wondering if anyone ever finds themself dishing out advice to others but at the same time are unable to apply it to their own situation?

I find that I do this quite often. I somehow find it easier to give advice to people who I know are in pain. I do this because I care and because I know how the person is feeling and I know the hell they are going through.
I find it hard to apply my advice to my own problems and I don't understand why. I read back on my posts and think...."WOW, thats good advice".
I have been so down and so depressed lately that I can't help myself but I somehow find it with in me to attempt to help others. I don't know why. I guess I just don't want anyone to feel alone. I want people to know that others out there care and want them to get better. I just want to get better too. But why can't I? My damn brain just wont let me.
My anxiety and depression is eating me alive. I went to my T appt today and she thinks that I am not giving myself enough credit for my accomplishments.
She considers my accomplishments as the following:

1) Going back to work
2) Driving on my own
3) Taking my meds
4) Opening up to her

Lets see......The first two are things I could so with out thinking prior to my breakdown so how can I really consider those accomplishments? # 3, well, I never had to take meds before my breakdown so I guess that is an accomplishment. #4, I open up to her because I need someone to help me out of this hell I am going through so in my eyes, I really have no choice but to open up to her.

Im sorry, I'm rambling again about absolutely nothing so I will end this post now.
