i've come to understand why people in depression find it so difficult to claw out of that frame of mind. Perhaps not understand, but more like 'gained an insight or a peek into'. Once the mind starts thinking negatively, such negative thoughts can spiral out of control easily and before long, the same depressing issue or thought just keeps circulating in the mind.

 

A leads to B leads to C leads to D and back to A again.

 

Sometimes it's just so scarily easy to slip into that frame of mind and if one doesn't realise how fear, insecurity and depression are wreaking havoc in one's life, it's quite difficult to come out of it.

 

Perhaps the good thing is that, it is also, a frame of mind. We can help ourselves and others think positively, realise that attitude can change perspectives and lives, and that life's actually much more enjoyable with smiles and laughter instead of anxiety and emotional stress.
