"Yet" changes the whole tone of self-destructive thoughts. I'm not good enough, yet. I haven't reached my goals, yet. I'm not the person I want or need to be, yet. That little word also carries a responsibility.
Things haven't been great but I haven't given up on "yet".

Depression is a vile illness. Not a bad day. Not a grumpy disposition. It saps your enthusiasm for almost anything and makes everything else 10x more difficult. It does all this but it does it to everyone around you too. Then you have a moment of clarity and realize what a burden you are.
