Hi @Sam3 re "not good enough"... yes it's both a cause and symptom of depression for me.

I feel it when I reflect on my work and money situation, and when I start comparing myself to others.

The comparison thing is a real trap for me. There is absolutely nothing to be gained from it and I try to think about how I am compassionate and rarely judge others, and work on extending the same good will to myself. Seeing a psych has helped me and allowed me to reality check some of my assumptions. Wish you well with finding one who can help you shed light on the theme.

Hey @MDT along side you on this one.

G'day @frog @Sam3
It's one of the hardest things I find. Comparing yourself to others is something I struggle with. I learned a few months ago that it's better to compare ourselves to ourselves from some point in the past. Not to compare ourselves to others. It only makes things harder if we compare to others. Easier said than done though I would think.
Good food for thought forumites 🙂
