I'm Still Human: Understanding Depression with Kindness

Page 73

~ Weak ~

One of the main reasons why I have depression is due to my pessimistic personality; low self-esteem, lack of self-confidence, inferiority complex, negative thinking. That’s me - Jasmine. I have been like this since young; only became worse when I was diagnosed with depression. I hate this personality; I hate my life, myself, the entire me. It’s like a big rock that I have to carry wherever I go. Because of this, I’m at risk of depression relapse over and over again – it’s so painful. I would honestly and confidently (at least about something in life) say that NO PAIN IS WORSE THAN MENTAL PAIN!!! I would rather suffer physical pain than mental pain. Even childbirth pain was more bearable as it was just over a short period of time.
