(((((Berries))))) You might think you are dumb and lazy. Anyone who is depressed goes through that, but your feeling that way DOES NOT MAKE IT REAL.

I went through years, whether I was actively depressed or not, thinking what yoou are thinking. Good things, successes, bravery, what ever I amanged that was right just did not stick, even when I held the proof in my hands. I was too focussd on making things fit my negative view of myself. It had simply become "me", but a very unrealistic "me".

Half the truth is a lie. And I am willing to bet that all that negative stuff is only a tiny piece of you, Berries. Which means that reducing all of you to that is a dishonest trick of your depression. Take care of that wonderful you.OK? It'll be hard till it gets better, but we will be here.
