Do you talk to your depression?

I call my depression Mr. Elephant and treat it like a pet. Sometimes I talk to it like, "Hey... I'm letting you out for a while." I do that when I'm too tired to do anything so I just stay in bed doing nothing. Sometimes, I say, "Please, not know." I do this when I'm out having a difficult time faking a positive attitude in front of friends/family.

Do you do this too? Is this a bad thing?

I think that's such a cute and positive spin your depression! If it works for you, why not? smiley

I don't see it as harmful or bad, matter of fact, I love the idea! It reminds me of something I saw awhile back on depression and other illnesses.

Take care! heartxx
