I'm one who can empathize. I myself come from a wealthy family where I have all my financial needs met. I look at my new car, library of books, and a generous bank account for which I personally did nothing to deserve and feel guilty. I get sad when I think of how many people would truly take advantage of my situation and doing something great with it.
But instead, this world has blessed me with it and I sometimes feel like I'm a waste. I have struggle with depression's ability to destroy motivation and desire to do good. I just wish I had the motivation and happiness to make use of what I've been so luckily given.
I recently graduated from college last year and have only worked sparingly. My new medical regimen seems promising at times, though I still struggle.
Remember that depression affects even the wealthy and money is no instant cure.... I know that now. Try thinking of what lies ahead and the possibility of finding a way to get better with the help of a psychiatrist and psychologist: an effective combination of medication and positive life changes.
The both of us still have time to do good things.
