      A really common component of depression is blaming yourself or feeling like you are "attention seeking" or just lazy/weak etc. I honestly wouldn't listen to anyone other than a doctor or therapist when it comes to your mental health! I have battled depression most of my life, but I finally found treatment that really helps (combo of medication and therapy) along with simple things like sleep, regular exercise, nutrition etc. If you are feeling sad every day, I would absolutely reach out to a doctor or therapist who can help you. Good luck, I promise you it does get better and there is effective treatment out there, just got to find what works for you ❤️
