It's easy to think that I'm just stuck with depression. As I slide down into the hole, there's nothing that I can do. There's a logic to that, and I believe it when I'm in that mental space, but it isn't true. 

That's one of the lessons I learnt years ago and have to keep relearning. Our habitual thoughts are not just a bit distorted or misleading; they are absolute lies. 

It seems true because of self-fulfilled prophecy and vicious cycles. It works like this - I think, I can't do stuff because of my mental health. So, I don't do stuff, and that proves that I can't and keeps me depressed.
