Any negative thought that goes through your mind is a lie. It’s not true. You are not who your depression makes you out to be. If you suffer from depression, try to start telling yourself this when it’s the easiest to start, meaning while you’re not in a depressive episode. Write it down if you can and tell yourself this everyday; “the negative thoughts are lies. I’m not who my depression makes me out to be. My depression does not define me.” You are loved just the way you are and you are good enough just the way you are.
