6 Things I Wish I Knew When I Was Battling Depression
- “I am not alone.”
- “My self-hate and perfectionism need to die, but not me.”
- “I shouldn’t believe all of my depressed thoughts, no matter how true they seem .”
- “I should do the opposite of what the voice of depression suggests. If it tells me to isolate I reach out to a friend.”
- “Find positive mantras even if I don;’t believe them at first.”
- “One chapter is not a whole book.”
