Is it normal that i think way too much and depress myself

Okay so I have a pretty good life and if I was someone else and met myself I would think I was pretty cool and that I had a good life.

But anyway I always think WAY TOO MUCH and think really negative sometimes and get into a downward spiral where I think my life is terrible and I am such a bad person and I lose all my confidence. Technically I know these things aren't true but my brain gets foggy and I get depressed and fearful sometimes and hardly want to leave the house. It's as though everything is a huge effort and I get so overwhelmed.

Is this normal?

  • I feel that way too a lot. Just kick yourself to do stuff, you will feel better after being productive! I feel I feel worse when I give into my pessimism and stay at home rather than go outside. Even if there is something going on outside that is malicious, what is a better way to crust the evil intents than living your life happily?

  • It's totally normal. I hate to admitted it but I partake in such impertinence as well.

  • I don't want to be doing nothing and yet there is nothing I want to do.

  • I too suffer from negative thinking. Its a bitch! What I'm trying to do is find more positive people to hang around. I'm looking for a job and trying to keep busy so I won't have time to think ;)
