All these, yes.
And very good wishes. Depression is an enemy within and it steals and steals, but it is never the sum of us.

Indeed.

Sending positive thoughts your way!

Remember that "It's all in your head" really means "It's invisible, has you by the sensitive parts, and knows all your tricks".

I understand this completely.

Depression tells you that you will never be "enough".

The rhythm of the first two lines made me hear them in my head to the tune of Nick Caves Sorrow's Child, which is apt, since I've always seen that as a summary of depression.

Thank you for reminding me it is not a natural inescapable state.

I hope it'll recede for you.
