Urgh, so in the past few weeks, since the latest bout of depression, I've started feeling like such a failure. Logically, I know it's not true: I've succeeded professionally and have a great relationship, enough money, nice friends etc. But I can't seem to stop beating myself up for all the things I feel I *haven't* got. Which sounds so entitled and ridiculous I can barely manage to type it, I feel so guilty for feeling this way. But it's true that anxiety/depression held me back from achieving my goals for a good few years, and now I've got this sense of having missed out on stuff. Which is ridiculous.
I blame Facebook really! How does everybody else deal with these kinds of feelings, which I'm pretty sure are just one more way for depression to beat us up?
