could this be called a silver lining?

I just wrote up this long rant at myself for not appreciating the fact that I have it better than some and that it could be worse.  Then I just didn't feel like posting it because I always feel so guilty about carrying on the way I do when it could be worse, but I'm trying not to do that.  I know that I'm supposed to allow myself to feel my feelings and not compare myself to others.  And the fact that plenty of people have it worse doesn't change my situation, nor does it make depression magically vanish.  I'm really, really trying to work on learning this.  Maybe the fact that I didn't post it means I'm making progress?
