"Your case isn't even that bad."
/When I was about 14, my mom made me see a therapist, even though I never told her that I was depressed and haven't told her to this day.
Based on the way my mom and step dad treated me, I learned from a young age not to trust adults. So I only gave the therapist limited information.
One day the therapist said to me, "Don't worry, your case isn't even that bad. I've seen so many kids who have way worse cases."
In reality, I had a verbally and emotionally abusive home. I had depression from the huge expectations my parents had for no one but me, and I have a crippling fear of failure from the punishment I got for my best simply not being good enough.
But yeah, my case "isn't even that bad." You're right. What was I thinking?
