I've been depressed before. And I worked through it - to the extent a person can when some parts of life are outside our control. But if I could go back in time- this is what I would say to my angsty young self: There is nothing wrong with you. You are not a broken toy. You are not a tragic mistake. You are not a deformed figure. You are, and you could ever only be, this person who you are. This is who you are supposed to be. Forgive yourself. You did your best. Keep trying. Things will get better.
