Pro tip:
Stop comparing yourself to other people. When you do this, you will feel that you have fallen short as a person. This eats at you and you give up. Don’t base your opinion of yourself or your self-worth on your struggle with depression. Your self-worth as a person is not based on how you deal with life stress. You are a worthy person. You have value. I know you struggle with that idea. I did too. You have assets, good qualities. You do.
Rather, define yourself by the things you do each day to work on getting depression under control. It is a process. When you do this, you will get where you want to be quicker and more joyfully than measuring yourself against others.
