This: "You don't have to be grateful that it isn't worse." 

\-

As a person who was always confronted with the "other people have it worse", It DID make me feel more grateful, however, whenever I was in a bad state I always felt bad about feeling that way. I always questioned why do I feel so bad at certain stupid situations and how I should really be hard at myself just to feel positive emotions. 

Your situation is valid

You are valid

Do not try to push yourself to feel another emotion, it is okay be patient with the emotion you're feeling, it WILL pass.

whoever is reading this; take care of yourself, you are loved and understood &lt;3
