I went through a bout off that recently. I was going through some rough depression. I was also beating myself up in general. Not only was I convinced that I had wasted my life but I was also wasting space on the planet. Using oxygen that others needed. Depression is such it wicked mean beotch! It tells us so many lies.

All I can say was that it did pass. What I did was go in the bathroom,shut the door and literally had an argument between myself and the depressed self.

Me: (looking in the mirror) I LOVE you
Depressed self: no you don’t! Nobody does!
Me: I don’t care I love you.
DS: how could you? I am a worthless wart on the earth
Me: you don’t have to be worth anything, I still love you.
DS: f@ck off go away!
Me: nope not going away, and I still love you.

And so on. This went on for about 20 minutes. I not saying I had any miraculous immediate result. But I did start to feel better.
