7 Negative Thinking and Depression

Each of us is affected differently by events, depending on how we think about them. For example, imagine that Mary is walking down the street and sees a friend – but the friend walks by her without acknowledging her. Mary thinks to herself, ‘Oh dear, she must be angry with me. Or perhaps she doesn’t like me and is trying to avoid me. I’ve lost another friend. I will always be alone.’ Mary feels awful – she notices her sadness and loneliness growing.
