onlinecounsellingcollege:

Ever wonder why I'm on a feminist rampage?
extantecstasy:
Because the media reacts like this when we’re less than perfect. Because our emotional range gets stunted and limited.
Because so many aspects of our culture normalize rape on a subconscious level.

Depression and Faulty Core Beliefs
onlinecounsellingcollege:
Studies on people suffering from depression have uncovered a number of similar beliefs. These are deeply held, oppressive, self-defeating and lead to low self-esteem and distress. They include: “I should be successful at everything I try.” “If I am not successful, then I am a failure.” “If I fail, then: I am worthless, I am unlovable, or, Life is not worth living.”...
