Depression and guilt: What thoughts do you struggle with the most?

Hi everyone,

Guilt can weigh heavily during depression; guilt for needing help, for not feeling better, for withdrawing from people you care about. These feelings are real, but you’re not alone in them.

• What types of guilt do you experience with depression?
• How do you manage those thoughts when they start to spiral?
• What helps you show yourself kindness and let go of blame?
