That's the logical thing to do if you're depressed right? What if you do more than you think but still end up failing? Because after all, isn't our thinking the main problem? Because if we didn't have these thoughts we wouldn't act the way we do. How do we take action with a distorted and f***ed up mindset? Sure, you might be able to for a little, but sooner or later, you'll quit because you haven't solved the root of the problem, your thoughts. But the question is, how do you change your thoughts? My mindset kind of goes like this. Parents: overcoming this illness is going to be very, very, difficult. Thoughts in my head: it's that hard? I can't even do easy things, why would I even try to do this? I just can't get out of this mindset, it seems like the truth in your head, but people say that your thoughts are distorted and not true.
