Is Depression Hiding in Your Personality? Uncover Depressive Traits

In this video, we explore a common but often misunderstood experience: depressive traits. Have you ever felt like, no matter what you do, things just don’t go your way, or that something bad is bound to happen even when everything seems fine? You might be dealing with depressive traits, which are less severe than full-blown depression but can still have a noticeable impact on your life. Unlike the intense, temporary storm of depression, depressive traits are more like a persistent cloudy day, leaving you feeling stuck in a constant state of ‘blah.’ These traits might show up in your everyday life by making social interactions challenging (e.g., assuming no one really wants you there) or turning small decisions into overwhelming tasks. The good news is that there are simple, practical steps you can take to manage these feelings. The video walks through five key strategies: challenging negative thoughts, celebrating small wins, talking it out with someone, practicing self-kindness, and seeking professional help if needed. By the end, you’ll have a better understanding of why you sometimes feel this way and what you can do to start feeling better.
