There are many ways in which depression not only changes our emotions and outlook on the future, but also the way in which we see our past. It can taunt us, with how happier we seemed to be, or it can taint our memories, corrupting them into something that we think we should be ashamed of. That's where I am right now. I wish for the better times that it seems like I should be capable of having, and I wish my mind would just stop replaying my mistakes and shortcomings. Moments that I used to be proud of, memories where I thought I was acting properly or in a good manner, it now seems like something to be ashamed of. I can't escape my mind, and how it replays these moments non-stop. I used to strive to be better each day, but now I'm just afraid I'll make a fool of myself. It just hurts.

Depression makes me use my bad experiences in the past to look to the future. I cannot spot good memories when depressed. I feel I've never felt happy.

I feel I may have had periods of being in a good mood over a period of time, being 'happy', but there's always been an undercurrent of sadness with me. Today I focus a lot on my shortcomings, I feel like I'm not talented og skilled in any way, I can't really do anything good, I'm like a fraud pretending.

The memories of my past haunt me & leave me breathless. I no longer seek happiness. I simply strive for acceptance of things as they are in the present moment.

Yes I can relate all to well.
It's like murky water just under the surface.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
