if I hear one more person say “just think positive” to someone with depression, I might lose it. Like, do you even hear yourself? It’s like watching the Heat underestimate the Bucks in a 7-game series. Straight-up unrealistic. Being told to think happy thoughts when your brain’s in a loop of doom is not helpful at all. It’s like telling a player to just shoot better instead of working on their shot mechanics. You're just making it worse. People need space to feel their feelings, even the dark ones, instead of this happy-go-lucky bull. Sure, seek some sunshine, but sometimes you gotta sit in the shade to deal with real stuff
