I experience this too. I have a lot of triggers. One of the biggest is the piece of “advice” that no one will love me because I don’t love myself. Whether it’s technically true or not, it’s such an unbelievably cruel thing to say to someone who’s depressed and has no self-esteem. Might as well skip the middle part and just say I’m unlovable. It’s the same thing, but people have to add that it’s my fault and I should feel guilty about it. Another is people getting opportunities I’ve wanted my whole life but just couldn’t get them. It just reminds me my life ended years ago and there’s no hope.

What helps? Forcing myself to eat when I need to I guess...having a history of coming out of severe episodes around the first of November I guess. Nothing really helps is my point.
