Hey @TyTy, I know how you feel. Sometimes I see people talk about "first world problems" or try to cheer up others by pointing out that others are worse off, and even though they have good intentions it's so not helpful. Your feelings are valid, and the pain they cause you is no less real just because you have a nice home. Depression, anxiety, feeling crappy - these things don't discriminate, they can affect anyone regardless of their situation.
What I'm hearing in your posts is a lot of negative self talk, basically being really hard on yourself. When you think that way often and long enough, it can become a habit. Your brain learns to think that way, and to break out of it you have to teach it to think a new way which can take time and practice. I encourage you to read some of the articles in our self-talk and self-awareness section for more info on what self-talk is and how to start turning it around. We have some good threads here on the forum to start practising positive self-talk, like Three Positives of Today and What Are You Proud Of? You've already taken a big step by being honest here about how you're feeling, so I hope you can take that next step and keep going!
Having some professional support can also help with breaking the cycle of negative thoughts. I notice you're not based in Australia, so I'm not exactly sure how it works where you are but usually you can go see a GP and they'll give you a referral for counselling. There may also be some local phone or internet based support services you can use, if you search around a bit.
