Living With Depression

When you’re under stress, your body produces more of a hormone called cortisol. In the short-term, this is a good thing because it helps you gear up to cope with whatever is causing the stress in your life.

What Causes Depression?
Types of negative thinking that add to depression
Win or bust thinking – Looking at things in dark or-white classes, with no center ground (“If I miss the mark regarding flawlessness, I’m a total disappointment.”)
1. Overgeneralization – Generalizing from a solitary negative encounter, anticipating that it should remain constant perpetually (“I can’t do anything right.”)
2. The mental filter – Ignoring positive occasions and concentrating on the negative. Seeing the one thing that turned out badly, rather than every one of the things that went right.
3. Diminishing the positive – Coming up with reasons why positive occasions don’t check (“She said she enjoyed herself on our date, however I think she was simply being pleasant.”)
4. Jumping to conclusions – Making negative understandings without real proof. You act like a mind peruser (“He should believe I’m pathetic”) or a crystal gazer (“I’ll be stuck in this impasse work for eternity”)
5. Emotional reasoning – Believing that the manner in which you feel reflects reality (“I feel like such a failure. I truly am nothing more than a bad memory!”)
6. ‘Shoulds’ and ‘should-nots’ – Holding yourself to a severe rundown of what you should and shouldn’t do, and pounding yourself in the event that you don’t satisfy your standards.
7. Labeling – Labeling yourself dependent on mix-ups and saw weaknesses (“I’m a disappointment; an imbecile; a washout.”)
