7 Signs Your Depression Is Lying To You

Are you feeling sad lately? What about depressed? Depression is a serious mental health disorder that needs professional help. One aspect of clinical depression is rumination or negative thoughts. This happens when we go into a spiral of talking negatively about ourselves. For example, "No body cares about me," I'm a burden," "I have no purpose in this world" are examples. The list goes on. If you're guilty of this, then we suggest watching this video to help spread awareness of how depression can actually be tricking us into thinking worse of ourselves than we really are.

May is Mental Health Awareness month and as it is coming to an end, we hope to keep spreading awareness about the impact of certain mental health conditions on our wellbeing. We hope you can join us by sharing this video with those who might need it so they can start to recognize when their negative thoughts are getting too far.

"Depression is like being numb, or in some cases so sad you don’t know what to do with yourself. It’s like being colorblind and being told how colorful the world is.

When people tell you to just stop being sad…
That is what makes it worse. I _hate_ when depression is the joke of the internet or school. It is not a joke. It is serious, and makes you hate yourself. Thank you Pysch2go, for showing that depression is serious

[ToastedNoodle]

I am currently struggling with chronic depression, and this helped me out tons. It helps to know we’re not alone.

Keep it up, Psych2Go, you guys are doing something special.

The “nobody cares about me” and “I’m a burden” hit me hard. I was having thoughts like that recently but then I realized that people invite me to things and they include me when it would have been easy not to. I realized people probably do care about me. I still have thoughts like that but at least I can give my brain a good reason why it’s wrong.

Edit: I also hope this can help anyone else who has those types of thoughts!

The worst feeling is when you know exactly what to do, what to think and what could help but no matter how hard you try, but you can't convince your mind to believe these things so you keep spiraling endlessly.
