Hi, Daisy
You sound so sad right now. I'm sorry you feel this way. I know what you mean, though, by thinking that you should be able to talk yourself out of your depression. And then comparing yourself to someone like Oprah. I get in that space as well, and I find that it always makes me feel worse. Anytime you compare yourself to someone or think that you "should" feel better does the exact opposite. What I try to do when I go down that mental road, is notice it for one. And then I try to remind myself that yes, I am sad and depressed. And yes, it doesn't feel good. And you feel alone in it. But it is what it is and nothing more. Then I try to be nice to myself and have chocolate or take a bath. I realize that this may not be helpful as you were talking about abandonment depression.
