The words we say to ourselves matter. The language we use when thinking about and talking to ourselves in our heads? It matters. We’re people and we hear ourselves. Talking shit about ourselves puts us down, has an impact on our mood and our abilities as surely as our mood and our abilities has a capacity to make us think and talk differently about ourselves. It’s all happening in the same brain, right? How would you feel about someone who called you an idiot? How would you feel if they followed you around, questioning your every move, doubting your every tactic and gesture, reminding you, “Yeah, you can say that, but remember that it doesnt mean anything coming from a loser like you.” That is What It’s Like sometimes. It’s exhausting. It’s exhausting to carry out, to combat as a person, and to counteract as a friend. It makes it hard to be “on,” to put on a show, to present your best self Jesus, this is the best description of living with depression Ive ever read.
