I Often Feel Like Depression Has Me Not That I Have Depression

I have invented my on treatment for depression where I give it its own personification and identity and I address it as an existing entity. whenever I can feel it creep up I begin to insult it and I tell it that it is the one who does not matter not me. I tell it that it is the one that the world would be better off without not me and I basically bully it the way it has bullied me in the past and it works. my depression over these last couple of years since i came up with this technique has decreased dramatically. just the fact that I have decided that I am able to battle it head-on rather than constantly being a victim of it has helped so much.
