Ive suffered with depression and anxiety for many years and i literally couldn’t imagine a life where i didn’t struggle with it daily. I sometimes find it hard to comprehend that there are people in the the world who are truly happy and have never struggled with their mental health for a long period of time like i have. Alot do people wouldn’t understand unless they have had mental health battles so i won’t be shocked if people think i sound odd saying this but it’s hard seeing “normal” people carrying on with their lives so easily and i have to literally fight my thoughts everyday, i wish it was that easy for me. sorry for sounding depressing i just feeling a little sorry for myself today

Completely agree. I spend far too much of my time comparing, which is a fools errand if ever there was one - but a hard habit to kick.
