Is it the depression talking, or is it just realistic thinking?

The people around me are always telling me to go out and live my life, I'll regret it later if I don't. No. I didn't ask to be here, I'm only here because my parents wanted me. Once they are gone I'm clocking out, why would I stick around when I'm no longer wanted or needed?

I used to think that way too. Sometimes what realistic thinking is really is our limited view presenting as fact. I can bum myself out by thinking about good reasons why I feel bad sometimes and I can think of great ones, but does it serve me? Not really.

So I consciously choose to tell certain feelings to basically stfu sometimes 🤷 if I'm not enjoying my day or feeling meaning Its on me to do something about it. I don't know if any of that's relevant or helpful at all, but I lived with depression for a good bit of my life and finding purpose and meaning helped for me.

Maybe that's what you're after, logic is flawed by its own limitations, reason is subjective but it's what motivates us.
