Hey everybody.  I'm really glad there's this space for us to get together to cope/make progress/find support in dealing with depression.  I've been wrestling with depression for about 8 years now, and I often find myself asking, "why is my mind against me?  Why would it want to be so negative toward me?"  I gave a short speech about it to a group of college students about it a few months ago and put it up on youtube here:

part one
part two

So those are my two cents, and I'd love to hear yours.  Isn't it weird that our heads bully us?

Offthelefteye,


Thank you for posting these very insightful and pertinent talks! It helped me greatly to know that others have this type of "bullying" going on in their heads! Part of the feeling it leaves me with is that I am very alone, and from hearing your wise words, I realize that is not the truth. Thank you for sharing this with everyone!

Thanks Natashae!  Yes, I'd say you're very much not alone.  One of the things that has been most surprising to me about sharing about my depression, is how many people say they have experienced similar things.  I guess the best thing to do is to keep reaching out to each other, right?

To awnser just the question alone


For me my head bullies me for 2 reasons


1. Mental illness


2. Sometimes it hard to let go. Yet I have learned that one ( me) must let go of that tape recoreding, I have learned the hard way if I don't it makes me sicker. If I do I can move on and do what I need to do/ get done.
