I'm disappointed in myself. I'm scared that everyone is right when they tell me I'm not trying hard enough. I could start getting better if I just told myself some affirmations. But I'm so used to telling myself that I can't do anything right. So used to it that it feels oddly safe. It's so much harder for me to tell myself good things and so much easier to just sink into depression. I let myself sink so easily, because I'm ashamed of how long it took for me to acknowledge that I can get better. I don't think I'm disappointed in myself because I can't do anything, I think I'm actually disappointed in myself because I CAN do things, but I've been sinking into my depression hole this whole time. That makes me feel so bad about myself, like why can't I just do better?? I really am so disappointed in myself for not being better sooner. Please tell me somebody else has experienced this. I feel so alone and so fucking pathetic.

I feel this. getting better is hard. i’ve struggled with getting better because it is scary. i don’t know what that feels like to not be depressed. depression is awful and i feel miserable but i’m used to it. i know how to live with it. just acknowledging these thoughts is HUGE. you can get better and the timeline for that is different for everyone. you can’t force yourself to get better and it isn’t a linear process. you’ve got this.
