Depression can be caused by chemical changes in the body, physical illness, and
different types of loss. Very often, depression and anxiety are the result of self-
defeating life patterns forming unhealthy neural pathways that can be healed by
incorporating caring self-talk and by supporting self-worth and assertiveness. We
tend to do to ourselves and to others that which was done to us in childhood.
Now as adults we must give to ourselves all the healthy things we needed from
healthy parents.
Here are some things to do to change the inner-dialogue
foundations of depression and anxiety:
Step 1. Write down the negative things you think about yourself, others, and your
circumstances.
This activity will bring to your conscious awareness the negative thinking and self-
talk that is common to many kinds of depression and anxiety. The negative and
self-critical self-talk demoralizes the ego and manifests as feeling down, blue, sad,
anxious, fearful and self-doubting. This low mood and anxiety then affect
sleeping, eating, and low energy. Common examples of negative self-talk are: I am
incapable, I can't do it, I am unlovable, I am a failure, I failed again, I can't do it,
No one wants to talk to me, No one cares about me, etc.
