But that’s why depression can go fuck itself along with other mentally impairing conditions like anxiety and the like.

That’s it. End of thread. If you’ve read this far, I hope this gives you something, whether it’s clarity or something to ponder when you’re wondering “why?”. (8/8)

That when I try to challenge the extremes
“damn this is too hard”
“I can’t I can’t I can’t”
And interestingly enough,
“It’s not safe (to think otherwise).”
There’s a strong resistance because your mind views it as a necessity to survive…

But that doesn’t make sense, right? (7/?)

It’s funny because I never realized how much I desired the stability of extremes until I met people who motivate me to want to become better and encourage me to become a better person with compassion and understanding that it’s not easy
And as I try to work through my mental fuckery I notice (6/?)

Because extremes are “stable” when you’re fluctuating through intense emotions, they don’t change if you don’t let it. When you’re drowning they’re like a lifeline (deathline is more accurate though) and you want to keep it so you deal with confirmation bias reinforcing these thoughts (5/?)

There’s a sliver of truth, when you try and rationalize, all you can think is how “true” it is without considering that your mind is jumping to extremes and there’s rarely “true” or “false” when it comes to things like “my life sucks”

But, extremes are easy when you’re mentally unstable, (4/?)

(All thanks to a decrease in an anti-psychotic) I really can’t help but ruminate over my thoughts and actions when I get into a depressive mode…

Talking to a friend who is similar in this yesterday made me realize how purely irrational our minds become. Your brain tells you shit and because (3/?)

And honestly? You’re not mentally capable of thinking rationally or objectively by default. This causes spiraling and doing actions you’ll most likely regret in the future once you’re out of that headspace.

As someone who’s been fluctuating between severe depression and “ok” (2/?)

Worth looking into DBT techniques!
TIPP is a good one (just search DBT skills TIPP)
