I would say "Maybe".

Maybe they have better lives, or maybe they are (or will be) depressed like you were.

The point is, you don't know, so enjoy you live, I think you deserve it.

Cannot edit anymore, so what I wanted to say (I was not very clear) is : The lives they have is not necessarily as nice as you picture it, nor yours as bleak as you think. In the end, I would not really think too much (even if I know it's hard) about them. After all, they might had enormous advantage, or actually a shitty live, because everything is too perfect or maybe they struggled so much to be where they are and so, are exhausted intellectually and depressed.

You achieved an incredible feat by controlling your depression, I'd be proud of it.
