I have been there. You are so fortunate to be academically blessed to get all A's. I have learning disabilities, and most of my depression was a result of never being able to measure up academic wise. I could never pass exams to get a job. My natural talents were never good enough, because a test score is all employers look for. You have a lot more going for you than I had. You can use that to do something great. Try volunteering some place that will help you realize that you make a difference. That will help you to respect and love yourself. If you like animals, you can volunteer at an animal shelter. Nursing homes, homeless shelters, and places where handicapped children live. Or if you are not a people person type, there are places where you can volunteer where you can file, or do computer work etc. I did a lot of volunteer work, and it kept me sane. Good luck.
