Depression Quotes

“The important point is that your feelings, thoughts, and behaviors are interconnected in a loop. Thoughts that are self-critical (“I’m so stupid”) or that are lacking in confidence (“I’ll probably fail”) or that expect a negative outcome (“It’ll probably get cancelled”) will likely engender sadness or negativity that will, in turn, result in self-defeating or withdrawn behaviors. Those behaviors will likely cause depressed thinking and the feelings that go along with it. Likewise, those feelings will probably bring about self-defeating or withdrawn behaviors and depressed styles of thinking.”
