I dont feel depressed but my thoughts are depressing

What can u do when your thoughts are negatives? I dont think that antidepressants would help because those are my honest reflections to my life. I often look unhappy.

Antidepressants may help you.

Being depressed is not always about feeling sadness.

Negative thinking or feeling hopeless or feeling more bleak is all part of depression also.

Right now i am feeling “Dead” I basically veg out on my couch and have a lot of worries and eveything is dark and bleak.

This is part of depression, I dont feel so Sad at the moment.

You may want to talk to your pdoc about it. Best of luck.

goggles, me too I don’t wanna more chemistry(antidepressants)… I am the same way, I don’t feel depressed but I am sad…no pleasure in anything. this should be the negatives symptoms of sz… I try to distract myself, I try to see people, I think it can help you a lot :slight_smile:

My therapy helped me working on turning my negative thinking down.

When I get stuck in an “everything sucks” mode… I have to stop… and really make myself find a few things that are going well…

Write them down… say them out loud and don’t counter act it with other negatives.

It takes some work… but it does help to take a moment and look for the small pleasures.

Be patient with yourself :v:

It’s ok to be serious. I don’t know what is normal for you. I am very prone to depression and it can swing in at any time. My thoughts become saturated in negativity, and I actually feel angry and irritated more than sad. I get really tired. Anyway, I work and find that pushing myself to smile and say hello actually helps distract and turn my thoughts. Listening to upbeat music helps me too. As to the thoughts specifically, check them. What’s true and what’s not? Accept what’s true and reject what’s not. Replace with true/good thoughts. God bless.
