The thing about depression, especially in intelligent people like yourself, is that we attempt to justify or rationalize it, when in reality we often rely on faulty assumptions about ourselves, the world, and our ability to positively impact it. It's this irrational thinking that results in a self-perpetuating depressive cycle. Depression makes you feel like a failure; feeling like a failure reduces your capacity for rational thought, irrational thinking leads to reinforced depression. I think you would do well with a CBT specialist. Medicine is not the answer for you. Also, never forget to step back and try to look at your life objectively. If you saw a newly graduated medical professional in good physical shape and healthy, would you be disappointed in that person? Don't sell yourself short, and don't let imposter syndrome take hold. This is me yeah. And failure for me is the worst thing ever. And I know all this, but it doesn't matter because I have these records stuck playing shitty thoughts to me that I'm forced to believe in. It's so odd to be able to understand these things, but still having it effect me, I thought it would just be going into a dark place but being "dumb" about it. I really don't want to do medicine, but maybe I could just try it. I dunno. Right now I don't have the energy to do those cbt stuff she is talking about. --- http://i.imgur.com/UcnevmT.png made by GuyWhoGames http://i.imgur.com/Z4cir.gif http://i.imgur.com/qEyGS.gif http://i.imgur.com/37KDT.gif <cite>FF_Redux posted [p:886457140] in MY mental ...
