How often do you talk to yourself during the day? When I was growing up as a child I remember my parents telling me don’t talk to yourself. I have heard that over the years and don’t know all the background behind it. I think most of us do talk to ourselves sometimes. A lot of times that’s negative self talk.

It could be just muttering or maybe just sounding out the sentences in our minds. Nevertheless it would not be unusual to hear someone talking to themselves. Sometimes people make fun of other’s self talk. Basically if our self talk is of a positive nature (and quite often it is not) it helps our self esteem and hurts our self esteem if of a negative nature. This applies to your thoughts too.

lot of times when we think of depression we are thinking of someone who is sick. It doesn’t seem like they are sick when you see many, mostly senior citizens, who are suffering with depression. Regardless a common “cure” is to give someone with depression some strong drugs to help control their minds. That’s not really a cure, but is my way of emphasizing it is more of a problem than we might normally think of.

You may not be a senior citizen, but maybe your parent (s) or older friends are and may be living in some place other than their home or even in their home alone. In either case they may be depressed if you don’t visit them or show an interest in them. It may be hard for you, with being busy and having your own life, but you should make some time to visit, talk, and go out with them, if practical. That will definitely help reduce any depression they may have.
