I think more so knowing there are people battling depression that’s like 10x worse than me. Makes me feel guilty for saying I’m depressed when what I’m dealing with doesn’t compare to someone else

it sounds like you’re not questioning whether it’s something else, just questioning if your experiences are severe enough to warrant that label. it makes sense but you gotta remember that depression is also on a spectrum, theres levels to it, and maybe yours isn’t “as bad” as someone else’s but treatments for it or even just learning about it could still be really helpful to you.

maybe compare how you feel now to how you feel or how you would feel when you’re at your best. if theres a concerning difference there i think it’s worth seeking out some help or more information. and i hope you feel better💜
