Personify Your Depression: If my depression were a person... [fill in the blank]
Personify Your Depression: I learned about this coping technique today. Imagine that your depression is a person separate from you. The idea is that personifying our depression helps remind us that depression doesn't define who we are ourselves, and that invasive self-critical thoughts we experience often come from our depression and not our healthy minds. Some things to think about are: what kind of person would it be, what kind of hobbies would it have, what would it look like, what would its name be?
So, if your depression were a person, what kind of person would it be?
if my depression were a person, it would have terrible fashion sense tbh
if my depression is a person , i'll tell him / her to GET LOST OF MY SIGHT as i don't like how i feel for a married man i know i shouldn't behaving or feeling for him but i'm so scared 😨 that one day i might lose him as a friend ... ðŸ˜ðŸ’”ðŸ˜ðŸ’” Urgh..Very AWFUL FEELING
si mi depresion fuera una persona, me sentaria y le diria que no esta sola y que yo siempre la acompañaria.
If my depression were a person I would like for it let me be when I'm with friends,thank it for letting me enjoy myself during the day and thank it for staying with me during the night when I needed something/someone.
If my depression was a person, I would let her cry as long as she wants and then tell her to vent out all the emotions that she's been holding up. Because all we need is to let these silence come out loud.
My most depressed part has indeed a face. She's a little scared ghost child that feels there's nothing good in the world for her and that's just how things are. She's so sad and doesn't even know that it is possible to feel better and that she's allowed to. She often cries, cuddles herself, rocks back and forth and doesn't even want to be alive
I would try to reach her and make her feel worthy, important, safe, show her the good in the world, and be for her the person others failed to be
If my depression were a person...
It'd be a she..
She would follow me around telling me how dangerous life is.Constantly complaining about everyone trying to get close to me just to hurt my already almost inexistent shattered heart.
She'd always talk about the beauty of choosing when and how to go...
Let's go together, she'd say excited.who'd miss us anyway? Your dad? Your sister? Don't make me laugh Alex, you know how it only takes a few years to get over that kind of thing.
If my depression were a person, she'd put a knife in my hand and then yell at me for taking it, she wouldn't really want me to go, she'd be scared and angry cause she'd know me better than anyone else, she'd cry all day thinking about everything I've been through, not letting me sleep at night...
My depression would just want to find me happiness.
If my depression were a person...
She'd be me...because my depression IS a person.
If my depression was a person I would cry with it
If my depression were a person... It would be a prison guard who hates me. Cold, harsh, critical, mean-spirited, moody, impossible to make consistantly happy. Every once in a while benevolent if do what I'm supposed to be doing and giving me problem free time. But always willing to rattle my bars at a moments notice to show me who's boss.
