There is no need for comparing in this realm as we are all unique and our turmoil (and brain chemicals) relative to us alone.

Depression isn't a competition, and no one needs to "earn" the right to feel bad.

‘I Have No Right to Be Depressed, Others Have It Worse’ Is a Lie

Imposter syndrome can hold back even the most capable individuals, blurring their true potential behind unnecessary self-doubt. Building confidence through self-awareness and honest self-appraisal can help unlock your full potential.

How to Become Your Best Friend and Silence Your Inner Critic

A couple of years ago, one person trying to help me told me "Others have it worse", too. It struck me as really insensitive. No one truly knows what it feels to walk in another's shoes. Everyone has different experiences, thoughts, and relationships. I think it's easy to judge others, but empathy should make us think beyond those judgements. We should leave a space open for other people's pain.

If you know someone who’s depressed, please resolve never to ask them why. Depression isn’t a straightforward response to a bad situation; depression just is, like the weather.

Try to understand the blackness, lethargy, hopelessness, and loneliness they’re going through. Be there for them when they come through the other side. It’s hard to be a friend to someone who’s depressed, but it is one of the kindest, noblest, and best things you will ever do.

This right here is such good advice. The "others have it worse" is such a useless refrain. It's easy to find someone else/another group who has it harder. What does that achieve though? We all have to live in our own heads and making sure everything is ship shape in there is a priority.
