For years now I have had problems with this feeling of worthlessness.  I was severely depressed for years and no one in my family knew.  I cried myself to sleep every night.  I learned to cry silently.  I have come out of the depression but still feel worthless.  I feel that I am a disappointment to those around me and that I never make them happy.  I had someone close to me tell me I am “nothing special”.  I feel broken.
