I think I'm depressed but i feel stupid because so many people have it worse than me and my problems don't matter and everything will probably go away, should i just not worry about my feelings?

Absolutely not. I read an article about this, and I'm going to quote a paragraph from it if you don't mind, because I think it answers your question perfectly. "Two people just broke their legs in a soccer accident. However, one person managed to fracture their leg in three places while the other only fractured theirs in two places. Technically, Person A has it worse, so are you telling me Person B has no right to complain about their pain and suffering?" Somebody in the world will always be worse off than you, but in no way does that mean that you don't matter. If you feel depressed, listen to your feelings and reach out to somebody. You can talk to a listener here on 7cups, a parent, friend, school counselor, etc. Everybody's problems are important, no matter how big or small they might seem.

That's not true that your problems don't matter. Each and everyone's problems and concerns about their lives matter because everyone is important and should have the right to be heard and understood well. It's okay to worry about your feelings. After all we can't help about how we feel about certain things we face which is fine. Sharing about your feelings is completely fine and you can tell about how you feel. I hope the best for you

There have been countless times where I would tell myself the same thing, but suppressing my feelings wasn’t any help either. It was actually doing more damage to me because I wasn’t putting myself first and loving myself. I began to learn about psychology to see what I can do instead. I came across the.holistic.psychologist on IG and learned that MY FEELINGS ARE VALID. Don’t be concerned if other people have it worse, be concerned how situations are affecting you and take that into account. This is your life and you DESERVE NOTHING BUT THE BEST. Start feeling your feelings, validate yourself, and seek therapy (if you can). I wish everyone who is reading this love, support, strength, and clarity.

Hello, I'm here to tell that that your problems do matter, and you are entitled to feel, and go through emotions like any other person. No matter how great or small your problem is, it's still worth recognizing, and acknowledging that you have a problem and that it's bothering you. You matter, so don't ever think any less of yourself, because you are amazing. Please know that 7 cups is a great place for you to vent anonymously and you can do so whenever you need someone to talk to about your problems, so please reach out and start talking to someone. I guarantee that you'll feel much lighter after a supportive chat. Please stay safe, and take care!
