Recently, South Korean actress, Sulli, tragically passed away by suicide at her home due to depression, attracting a lot of attention. Why have the number of people suffering from depression been increasing in recent years?
Primarily, it’s due to the constantly accelerating pace of society and the significant work pressures. Some individuals find themselves unable to cope under high pressure for extended periods without knowing how to release it, which eventually affects their mental health.
In recent years, the number of people suffering from depression has been on the rise. Those with mild depression often express their low moods in daily conversations. If you know someone like this, it’s important to take notice.
People with mild depression often have five common phrases they frequently use. It’s important to recognize them sooner.
“I’m worthless.”
For individuals with mild depression, self-denial is common, even when they have done something exceptionally well or perfectly, they struggle to see their own value, constantly belittling themselves and feeling worthless.
If someone around you frequently says “I’m worthless,” it’s crucial to pay closer attention to their emotions as they may be dealing with mild depression, lacking any self-confidence and continuously self-doubting.
“I’m so fed up.”
Individuals with mild depression often have weak coping abilities; even minor issues can make them extremely frustrated, leading to irritability and frequently saying they are “fed up.” Such individuals are highly pessimistic, always focusing on the negatives, which can further lower their mood and even lead to suicidal thoughts.
“It’s all my fault.”
People with mild depression often tend to blame themselves for everything, feeling they have not done well enough and end up impacting everyone negatively.
During such times, they often say, “It’s all my fault.” These individuals appear very self-deprecating, lack confidence, carry a significant psychological burden, and tend to harbor negative thoughts.
“Life is boring.”
Those with depression often see the negative side of life, failing to find any positivity within themselves, believing their existence is meaningless, living their days aimlessly.
Especially when facing sadness or unfavorable situations, their emotions become more negative, making them feel that life is “meaningless,” further pushing them into hopelessness.
“If I die, you’ll all be better off.”
Individuals with depression may feel they are constantly burdening others in their daily lives, often contemplating suicide, thinking that if they were gone, those around them would be better off.
It’s crucial to be attentive to their emotions during such moments and not let them entertain suicidal thoughts.
