  • I have basically no self-esteem or self-respect
  • I see very few if any redeeming qualities in myself
  • I don't like who I am or what my life is

But in addition to that, I find myself unwilling or unable to make changes that might improve anything I listed above. I wouldn't recommend being or living like me to anyone, therefore I would be a very poor role model.

It turns out that one of the symptoms of depression is not having the tools to deal with your symptoms of depression.

That's why I'm grateful that my mom stuck me in therapy when I was 9 after the divorce, and again after the ADHD diagnosis.

My wife has almost the same upbringing and mental issues, but never saw a therapist until college, so she has almost no healthy coping tools.

Self awareness is definitely a redeeming quality, and it's clear you have that. Something to build on, if you want.
