Don’t lie to yourself. You are what you are and can learn to live with it. Depression is about how your body and brain functions. You or I didn’t ask to not enjoy our lives at times.
When you try to read articles about “healing” your depression, they can make you feel worse.
When I see an article that looks good I do try to read it. Some are written well. Some want you to learn discipline or self love. If I could learn it, and we all can, it does not seem to work when we are depressed.
Then I get mad because I don’t feel like I can do the things that most people can do.
But, you have to tell yourself that it is the depression telling you that. Seriously it is.
I have what they call “high functioning” depression. That does not mean that I am not depressed all the time, because I am.
I can talk and laugh and enjoy things, but when no one is around, I don’t want to do things or talk and laugh. It’s almost like I can lie to myself about everything being great. It’s not great, but I have learned to live with it as my reality.
Sometimes I could sleep all day and night, and once in a while I do. But then people start asking you what’s wrong, are you sick?
Well, of course I’m sick. They seem to forget that I have depression. Hello.
In my many, many, many and many more years of living I have learned my personal reality.
I don’t read sad books or watch curtain TV shows, because they can hurt my reality. Maybe you can enjoy those things and that is your reality. We are not all alike.
The only thing we have in common is that we have a condition called depression.
It is not an excuse, it’s reality.
Don’t lie.
Don’t lie to yourself. Everything in this world changes and we have to learn to live with it.
Depression is the same. It can change and we can learn to live with it.
If you lost an arm or a leg, you would have to change habits and learn to live with it.
The same with depression. We don’t know why it happened, but we have to change and learn to live with it.
Never give up!
Never give up! You are stronger than depression! Don’t lie to yourself about “your” reality.
