I'm just struggling real bad with depression lately. I feel like I'm not any good, but the other part of my mind says that just isn't true. Despite having those conflicting thoughts....I can't get going. I've been in a downward spiral....IDK how to escape it

Affirmation and Reassurance,Question
I mean things do typically work themselves out, they always do....but I just can't get out of this rut I've been in. Well I lost my job because my GF had texted me saying she didn't want to be with me anymore....and I just couldn't handle it. Then I just started going downhill from there.....have had difficulty finding another job, or trying to replace lost income.

Right and you have to take control of those negative thoughts and replace them with positive thoughts

I could do a better job of reframing situations and looking at everything as 'glass half full' instead of empty
user

You are right you have to learn to control your feelings towards a situation
assistant

I do tend to overreact or just go overboard pretty easily.....I agree with you there.

Don't let depression take full control of you then it will be all bad
assistant

That's true....I will start doing a better job at looking at the brighter side of things....it's not as bad as I make it seem I guess.
