Comment on Is Depression Linked to seeking Self-esteem? by brett

Janeen,
Yes, I said the depressed ones feel as if they are losers in the praise game. What I was saying is that from our early childhood we have been condition to see ourselves as either someone worthy of the praise of others or some one not worthy of others praise. So when we reach out to others for friendship we carry the conditioned beliefs with us. These belief about ourselves can come from our parents, other relationships and they also can come from the classroom. In 1950’s teachers started to use praise as a motivator for learning, it was called positive reinforcement. Unfortunately teacher’s created a praise game as kids tried to win praise. They unintentionally damaged some kid’s self perceptions, they instilled ‘lies’ about their worth based on social praise. There is hope, it’s called grace, the unmerited favor of God, grace declares us valued without effort or merit. God loves us and accepts us. You may need a good Pastoral counselor to help you change your thinking or a relational therapist/cognitive therapist near your home. it’s not about being more positive it’s about seeing yourself as God sees you, as someone who is highly valued and loved unconditionally. Once we know God loves us we can love others. Janeen my prayers are with you. Please reach out for help and sabotage the lies not the friendships. I hope this makes sense it’s 1.20 am and my eyes are bouncing.

You said that ‘the depressed ones feel as if they are losers in the praise game’. For me is is ‘the friends game’. It is being lonely all the time. I get glimpses of what it is to be liked and to have friends and then I sabotage it and lose it. Then I hate myself again. Today I woke with the words \I feel . . .\ running around in my head. I told myself that feelings are lies and I needed to be more positive. I need to say \I am . . .\ messages. Not sure what to do actually.
