Depression

This is an excerpt from an article I read earlier:  We all know that every human being has basic physical needs: for food, for water, for shelter, for clean air. It turns out that, in the same way, all humans have certain basic psychological needs. We need to feel we belong. We need to feel valued. We need to feel we’re good at something. We need to feel we have a secure future. And there is growing evidence that our culture isn’t meeting those psychological needs for many – perhaps most – people. I kept learning that, in very different ways, we have become disconnected from things we really need, and this deep disconnection is driving this epidemic of depression and anxiety all around us.

Hit the nail on the head.  

My Brain

I think too much.  I over analyze everything.  I want so much to be loved that I think I assume that people think the same way about me as I do about them.  Feel the same way as I feel about them.  Then when I burst that bubble it sends me into a depression.  I do it to myself.  It's not anything anyone has done to me, it's what I do to myself.  I want to not do this.  How do I not do this?
