I have been depressed for so long that I dont remember what are "normal thoughts". What are the difference between normal and depressed thoughts?

I don't really think the dichotomy between "depressed" and "normal" is very accurate. Depression isn't a separate entitiy taking place inside your skull, it's more like a facet of you. Think instead in terms of healthy and unhealthy. Think about if the thought is helping you, or if it's hurting you. What are the emotions connected to the thought? How grounded in fact is the thought? If you feel the thought is a healthy one that's helping you and not triggering harmful emotions, then accept it. If you feel that it may not be rational and it's hurting you, contradict it and try to understand what a more accurate and helpful thought is. You have control over your thoughts, they don't have to control you.

Depressed thoughts are those biased to think the worst case scenario. In every aspect, be it about oneself or relationships or future. Normal thoughts arent biased.

Hmm.. So you have been dealing with depression for a long time, and you struggle to find out if your thoughts are coming from the depression, or that they are 'normal' thoughts? Is it that you would like to know which thoughts you can 'trust' or follow.. in order to care for yourself? I have a concern around making a sharp separation between "depression thoughts" and "normal thoughts", because I believe that there is a sense of truth behind all thoughts you have. In my experience, when you can connect to where the thought is coming from.. when that part of you is heard, something changes, and there can be space for other thoughts that may be less connected to feeling down. How does that sound for you? Let me know if you would like to connect around the subject and/or this question!

Normal thoughts are of anger, grief and being upset. Depressed thoughts are of being deeply sad and down for a duration of time, without feeling positive in ones thoughts.

Being depressed neautralizes a constant state of bring sad and have a sack oof negativity on your load. Normal thoughts would be, "I love how beautiful the stormy weather is! I think I'm going to sit on the balcony." Depressed thoughts would be, "I can relate to this torturpring weather so much that I'm going to watch the angry cloud swirl around me."

Normals thoughts are positive vibes coming out of your mind whereas depressed thoughts are full of negativity where you keeps blaming yourself and wants to get alone.

Normal thoughts are happier. Normal thoughts doesn't make you tired . It doesn't make you question life and why you're living it . It doesn't make you think that people don't care about you and that they would be happier if you disappeared

I would say that all of those thoughts are the same. It all depends on how you perceive your thoughts, whether negative or positive. It's normal to have thoughts which are bad and good, the difference is how we acknowledge them and if we turn our thoughts into feelings (this is where we choose to hang onto them). I hope you know that your thoughts are normal, you may just need to focus on how you perceive them.

Normal means to you what was different from the way you feel now. Make a list of the things you feel now are no longer making you feel like you used to. Personal experience for me was due to my chronic illness and loosing friends and family. I was told by a dr that depression would not go away by itself. I am not able to someone who did not ask for a referal . I also am not able to so i am new to i may have said that so I am clear that was a mistake. It is up to you if you will be willing to speak to a listener to know i still have depression on and off from my illness and loss of a family member as well i even got a bird for therapy. It helped but i am chronic pain and suffering rare illness so birds are something that require time and i may not be the same as you. Been a better person with talk therapy and it depends. Since i also can share my experience i can not say things to sway your beliefs as well. Would you like to speak with a listener who may be better suited for this. I am still handling this and it will not be good to have a listener who is in the same way suffering from my depression?

I would say the way to distinguish what thoughts are normal and depressed would be to break down each thought. Then ask yourself (your mind, heart, and gut - your soul) if that thought resonates and if it will help or hinder you. This will help gain an understanding of what is 'normal' and what is 'depressed' to you. If all of that seems too hard to do, from my experience, the thoughts are probably going to be mostly depressed. Ultimately for me I discern if my thoughts are depressed (and something to be aware of not to follow) depending on how I'm currently feeling and if those thoughts are expanding or restrictive/constricting.
