Types of negative thinking that add to depression

All-or-nothing thinking 

 Looking at things in black-or-white categories, with no middle ground (“If I fall short of perfection, I’m a total failure.”)

Overgeneralization 

 Generalizing from a single negative experience, expecting it to hold true forever (“I can’t do anything right.”)

The mental filter 

         

Ignoring positive events and focusing on the negative. Noticing the one thing that went wrong, rather than all the things that went right.

Diminishing the positive 

Coming up with reasons why positive events don’t count (“She said she had a good time on our date, but I think she was just being nice.”)

Jumping to conclusions 

Making negative interpretations without actual evidence. You act like a mind reader (“He must think I’m pathetic”) or a fortune teller (“I’ll be stuck in this dead end job forever”)

Emotional reasoning 

Believing that the way you feel reflects reality (“I feel like such a loser. I really am no good!”)

‘Shoulds’ and ‘should-nots’ 

Holding yourself to a strict list of what you should and shouldn’t do, and beating yourself up if you don’t live up to your rules.

Labeling 

 Labeling yourself based on mistakes and perceived shortcomings (“I’m a failure; an idiot; a loser.”)

We all have negative thoughts, it's normal, but we have to stop them if possible. we can't just let them go around our minds and make us weak. Honestly, we are the ones who create all this thoughts in our head, as if we are fortune tellers or mind readers. We don't have to worry about what's going to happen next or what people think about us. we just can't please everyone. This is YOUR life, so take it and enjoy it, in a Good Way! Never forget to call GOD when you are in trouble because he is the only one who listens to you 24/7 and he is the only one who can save you
