False Things Depressed People Tell Themselves

I had that philosophy for quite a short period of time because I was thinking of killing myself, and that is where my nihilism kicked in. I felt either like spreading wrath to everybody since life seemed meaningless or like killing myself. Thankfully, my therapist snapped my senses back, making me realize that I mattered. He helped me, and I don't think that way anymore.

In the grand scheme of things, life does seem meaningless, which is why it is best not to think about it and live your best life while trying to do as much good as possible while you're alive.

Everyone thinks this at some point, unless they're one of the lucky few who are always showered with love. We are all loved, but we all need reminders, which unfortunately isn't something we spread as much as we should. When was the last time you told someone that you love them?

God loves everyone! God loves YOU! No matter your age, race, religion, or gender, He loves you and forgives your sins.

I'll admit that I'm a bit guilty of this myself.

Life is random. There are good times as well as bad times. If your life feels like it is constantly painful, your mindset should be fixed because perception does equal reality. If you constantly see the world as evil and out to get you, then your mind will focus on finding negative things to validate that belief while ignoring anything positive that happens.

Not that I'm depressed, but this one often comes off as true for me. Nothing like waking up with a headache and not remembering how you got said headache.

No one's better off dead unless they've done something really heinous.

For people to understand you, you first have to understand yourself. In fact, some can understand you better than you do yourself since people tend to ignore their flaws or just can't see their shortcomings.

It depends on the people you meet and how well they know you personally.

This one is true for everyone. Everyone thinks about everything in terms of themselves.

I thought the opposite when my depression was at its peak. It's mostly gone now. Mostly.

Depressed people tend to think more about others than themselves.

This is more of a question of whether you want to be saved from your depression or not. Are you willing to talk to another person, to build that support system you need? Are you willing to search for support groups or communities?

I'm trying to break out of this claim or habit as best as I can currently.

This is a common thought that a majority of depressed people either tell themselves or believe because their mind thinks it's true.

No life matters, yet all life matters. If you disagree with reality, that's your own fault.

Suicide isn't a good end. It is just an end. You will cease to exist. As far as you are concerned, this can be painful or painless depending on the method, but it will cause a lot of harm to people who know and care for you.

It is really something you should give deep thought to. Sure, you no longer have to worry about the negative parts of your life, but you'll also no longer get to enjoy the positive parts as well.

It's not. You don't know what the future holds. It could hold the best time of your life.

This one could possibly be true if the depressed person is religious, but usually being religious means you should have a good support group in a church of your belief near you.

In my experience, when depressed, the momentary pain feels like it will never end, but it always does. Depression fluctuates for me.
