“I am a useless person.”
For those with mild depression, self-denial is common. Even if they have done something perfectly, they can’t recognize their own worth and tend to belittle and mock themselves.
Often, they will frequently proclaim themselves as useless, which can lead to a gradual loss of self-confidence and a general sense of negativity towards everything.
“I’m so annoyed.”
Those with mild depression usually have low stress resistance and can quickly become irritable over minor issues, often complaining about being annoyed. They tend to dwell in negative emotions, viewing everything in a negative light, which can lead to a decline in mood and resistance towards everything.
“Am I sick?”
Depressed individuals often experience various unexplained physical discomforts, such as body aches, constipation, chest tightness, palpitations, even after repeated tests show no issues. Before visiting a doctor, they often feel unwell and worry about being sick, resorting to blindly taking medication, which might actually be a psychological issue.
“I’m not hungry. Eating would be a waste.”
People with mild depression may lose interest in eating, even with foods they used to love. They might say, “I’m not hungry, eating would be a waste.” Some depressed individuals might have a sudden increase in appetite.
“It’s all my fault.”
People around us suffering from mild depression tend to blame themselves, thinking they have let everyone down by not doing something right, leading to a decrease in self-confidence.
Sometimes, individuals unknowingly add pressure on themselves, accumulating stress that they cannot release, leading to a sense of depression.
“Living well is pointless.”
Individuals with mild depression often focus on the negative aspects of life, unable to see the positive side. They feel life is meaningless and might lack enthusiasm, feeling negative even with minor issues.
“If I’m dead, you’ll all be relieved.”
If someone shows signs of suicidal thoughts or behavior, it indicates severe depression. As a friend or family member, it is important to take them to a mental health professional. These individuals often have a negative view of their existence, believing others would find relief if they were gone. If you know someone like this, please pay attention to them and don’t let negative thoughts take over.
