Me: I’m excellent at reading people
My therapist: you assume that ANYTHING is a sign people hate you
Me:… like I said, excellent at reading people!
My therapist, realising this is going to take ten more sessions: *internal screaming*

β€œsome people just refuse to get help, like they don’t want to get better”

yes that’s a depression symptom

some of u are really continually surprised that depressed people are really depressed

saying β€œyou’ll never get better with that attitude” to someone with depression will always sound as if you’re telling them to give up. because that β€˜attitude’ is, surprise surprise, their depression.
