Constantly apologizing for literally everything. The other day I apologized to my coffee table after bumping into it, then apologized to my roommate for apologizing too much. It’s exhausting being this way.
Attributing any system, process, regulation, etc. they do not immediately understand (or refuse to take the time to figure out) to a conspiracy or “scam.”
For me, it’s when my house becomes dirty and unorganized. My dishes start to pile up; my dirty laundry is left on the floor, trash can is doing a balancing act- normally I’m on top of all these things daily and weekly, but sometimes I can tell that a depressive episode is just around the corner based on the state of my home.
Drunkenly telling people who obviously don’t care how great you feel and are happy with your life and are really cheering about how great you’re doing, while we can see the cry lines in your cheeks and it’s obvious you haven’t slept in a few days.
The “everyone is out to get me” feeling. You can see it when someone mentions they’re “cursed” or “nothing is going right.” When you cant stop from noticing every single bad thing, and the good doesn’t touch it. It feels like you’re gods bitch and he looooves fucking with you. Thats how i know my family members are flailing.
