I wrote this the other day. What would you tell your depression?

Me and depression are not getting along to well. I fight for everything. It has me so dumbfounded I can't think. Takes me 2 or 3 hours to do what used to take me 2 minutes. I don't care about anything or anyone, especially myself. Like I tell my therapist I just want to be in the dirt. I know that this is a battle for the rest of my life. But I am wearing down again. It seems to take over my mind, thoughts, the willingness to do anything, time to sleep forever. I just have to fight back, push it aside to fight another day.

My own words to others: Just want to see if I can help myself.
You are not worthless, your are a great person, you are doing very well fighting your depression, hang in there tomorrow will be a better day, you are not alone, you are not dumb, stupid, lazy, pathetic, unhappy, sad, all these things that depression is telling you are untrue. Make it understand that you will not back down. Keep up the fight - do not let it convince you of these things. Push push push get out of here, go away, I don't want you in my life anymore, depression leave me alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It helps a little.
