Invalid feelings?

Question

Some minor things have been going on, like this girl spreading rumors about me bullying her, though I didn’t, bring low key rejected by my crush, and just being stressed at home, being the second oldest of 6 kids. I see my friends going through worse things and I don’t know why I am so sad when I have it good compared to them. I feel like I can’t feel these feelings because I didn’t “earn them” if that makes sense. I feel so worthless. Any advice?

Answer

I was the 2nd of 6 too... I was in some ways my family’s caretaker and learned that my needs were secondary... it’s been a journey learning about myself... I wish you luck and yes your feelings are important and I hope you have someone you care about to talk to about what’s going on. It’s ok to ask for help

Answer

YOUR FEELINGS ARE VALID. no, you aren't dealing with what other people are, but they don't have your problems either. Keep in mind, assuming you're an adolescent (I get that feeling from your post) You're also dealing with hormonal changes that will just make you feel really shitty. But it gets better! Find a friend you can talk to, that you trust, or consider seeing a therapist. Sometimes it feels good just to get it all off your chest! And this isn't a competition for who has the most depression. You can feel fortunate for what you do have while also feeling crummy.
