I hope this doesn't mean I've gone all political. *facepalm*

This is something I've been thinking about for a while. I suppose the message in this image could be interpreted in a lot of different ways, but I see it like this:

When you start viewing your skewed thoughts and perceptions as part of your illness, rather than things that need serious consideration, they become a lot easier to deal with.

That has been my experience.

Like, instead of agonizing over whether or not I'm deserving of love and kindess, instead of fighting with myself over being a worthless person, instead of constantly asking myself what in the hell I'm still doing here, I take those thoughts and say, "These are all part of the illness that is depression. They are therefore to be FOUGHT instead of considered."

I hope that made at least a little bit of sense.

I'm sure other people have differing views on the topic.
