My therapist also tries to explain the difference between a “depressing” thought and a “depressive” thought. The first is just sad: “my ex started dating my roommate and that makes me feel uncomfortable”. The latter snowballs into morbid or hyperbolic predictions of the future: “now I’m going to be ostracized from my social group because they won’t want me making things weird. I also work with him and my professional life is going to fall apart. Ill have no safe space and I’m going to crack & burn all bridges i have here. I’m going to need to restart my life somewhere across the country”
