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?
It would be someone who pops up at times where I both expect it the most and the least. Someone who easily makes me cry as they remind me of a mistake or how I should be hated.
Who is there to see me put down, cry when I'm crying, hurt me when I don't deserve it or least expect it. Punish me or threaten me. Tell me there right and there better and .no good. A failure. Useless. Everything I hate :(
Hi
if my depression were a person, he would be totally alone in the universe and feel it was all his fault.
If depression were a person, itd probably be in the shape of myself. Itd stand in my way, and push me down whenever I tried to talk to others, or my parents. Itd tell me I was worthless, and I dont deserve to try to get out of the hole I dug myself in. It would tell me my emotions are invalid to others and I dont matter.
My depression is not a person, it's an iron chain. Small but heavy. Each time I remove a link, another may appear.
I am not so naive as to think I can't put the chain down, but it grows when I am not there and no matter where I leave it, I always wake up wearing it.
The best I can do is keep it close and dismantle it as best I can. I may never be without it, and I fear the day I can no longer carry it.
If my depression were a person, she would be chained to me and she would look like me. She would stay silent when I
If my depression were a person, it would constantly be disgusted with me and talking behind my back. I'd always wonder what it was saying about me that was so awful- I'd try to find a reason, but never figure it out because there might be many reasons or none at all. That's why it would bring me down constantly. : /
If my depression were a perdon, it would be aa sahdo that shows up when you least expect it. It would like a vampire, always trying to suck all of my energy and vitality.
It would de a dark shadow, constantly lurking behind me. Reminding me of everything that Ive ever done wrong.
