Is it bad that I once wanted to hurt myself so my depression would be valid compared to others who had self harm

I’ve had a similar feeling where I wonder how bad my depression is compared to others. My sister has a history of self-harm, and I’ve never done it, but we both seem to have similar depths of depression so it seems like self-harm isn’t an automatic sign of “valid” depression

Yeah I get what you mean. I just compared myself a lot to others but I am working hard on stopping those thoughts
