2. Depression :
Our life is full of challenges .we have the ability to solve these
problem among our this life . sometimes we cant solve our
problem by our selves , and we ask for help from the others .
sometimes they help and sometimes we find no one to help .
thinking a lot about problems without finding any way out of it
. long thinking for too much time will make the normal human
to feel little depressed .
the problem is we have a lot of wrong beliefs that will blurs
our mind from other views , and this beliefs will make us to
deal in a wrong manner .

3. Fable like the lion and the sheep suggest that we are what
we believe ourselves to be

4. In this story this lion was brought up among a flock of sheep
he thought that he is a sheep and thought eating grass is his
lot of life .and he lived in this cage of wrong thoughts .
Any one like this lion will behave like a sheep even when we is
more like a lion , this is the same when a depressed one think
about his problems as endless .

5. Now this one cant solve his problem and he will start to think
a bout himself in a new way
I can’t solve it out .
I am a powerless .
Who I am ?
No answer or ……. I am no one
Hopeless
Worthless

6. Worthlessness ,is a common and painful symptom
of depression it describes when people think they
are weak ,inadequate , or flawed .

7. Socratic method to defeat depressive thinking
you can start by defining
the meaning of the words you use to describe
your depressive experience.
Then, you can give your self examples that fit
the definition
followed by exceptions that can contradict the
definition.

8. A PLURALISTIC THEORY OF SELF
Socrates’ prescription for wisdom is to
“know thy self.”
A process of self-inquiry can sharpen self-knowledge.
When depressed, you may be inclined to think categorically
about your self by defining your self as worth less .
But the self is too complex to be so easily classified.

9. A broader perspective on the self can contradict narrow
depressive thinking about the self and help alleviate that
part of a depressive burden.
This means simply we want to describe the self using all its
attributes

10. Here are some arguments for accepting the
self as pluralistic:
Psychologists Gordon Allport and Henry Odbert (1936), in their search for what
makes up the self, found 18,000 human qualities listed through out a standard
English dictionary. These words included emotions, talents, and traits. They found
about 4,500 trait words including warm, dominant, sanguine, inventive, friendly,
quick-witted, motivated, bold, shy, and stub born. The words describe part of the
complexities that go into what is a gigantic composite picture of the self.
Human beings have about eight primary emotions and about five
hundred cognitively toned variations on these basic themes. Basic
emotions include delight , anger, and fear.
Emotional variations include angst and lassitude. Emotions can be
mixed, such as feelings of dis gust and anger.

11. Con. arguments for accepting the self as pluralistic :
There may be over 120 factors that go into what we call “intelligence.”
Our intuitive abilities, insights, imagination, and creativity add to this
intellectual complexity.
Your complexity grows when you con sider what goes into the many
roles you play , such as parent, prophet, pal, or patriot.
You can add to your self-definition using externals such as the type of
clothing you wear , the auto mobile you drive, your job status, or how
much money you have invested.

12. Doing a Personal Features Experiment :
here we want to ask the depressed person to make a comparison
between what he can do and him self's features and the word
worthless .
This one described himself as a worthless .
Worthless

13. But we want to explore himself with these categories :
values , faculties, emotions, attributes and roles .
Values :
include responsibility, honesty, or a good meal. What
you value is what you normally view as important.
Faculties:
include reading, writing, calculating, cooking, negotiating, repairing.
Your faculties will normally have related skills. For example, you might
occasion ally restore furniture.
That process can break down into an expanded list of faculties such as
acquiring, repairing, sanding, staining , varnishing, and so forth.

14. Emotions :
include hap pi ness, sad ness, frustration, and joy. In their simplest
form, emotions break out into pleas ant and unpleasant states. When
depressed, emotions tend to be unpleasant and negative. When in a
depressive state of mind and emotion, look beyond depression and think
about the range of emotions that you once were capable of experiencing.
What were these emotions? When did they occur?
Attributes :
include being out going, quiet, bold, friendly, quick-
witted, passive, active, caring, sensitive, or hard-nosed. These are the sort
of distinctive features of a personality that can stand out to other people.
Roles :
involve the various parts you play through out the day and through out
your life, such as student, teacher, protector, or organizer.

Worthless

16. A THEORY OF WORTH
In a practical sense, people who display special skills gain advantages. High skill
performers in the arts, business, sports, and the professions gain financial
advantages. So does the mechanic who quickly diagnoses and fixes an auto
motive problem. He provides a service that is valued.
There are big advantages for per forming effectively and dis ad vantages for
weak performances.
But are either top or lower levels of performance a measure of human
worth?

17. Thomas Hobbes described
human worth as measured by
what people
con tribute to society. There are
many ways to make
contributions, so no person
needs to be excluded from this
formulation. But does it make
sense to use “contributions” as a
definition for self-worth?

18. Contingent-worth :
Its to feel worth upon the rating of what you do and what you
think the others think of you .
When doing some thing good ,you esteem yourself as a worth
, but when you cant do good things or you think that the others
think of bad things about you , you will believe that you r
worthless .
And this is not a sense way to define the worth too
Because if they think good or bad about you its not going to
change your life .
If you failed to do the good thing today you may do it tomorrow

19. If some one made a big mistake sometimes he will think about him self as a
worthless and he will think that he cant do the right thing . Especially when
he fail to do something many times .
This is a failure trap . because to fail is discovering that this way does not
work .
For example the inventor Thomas Edison made many thousands of attempts
to find the filament for a light bulb he tried to develop . When asked how he
was able to tolerate such failures, he quipped that he did not see this as a
series of failures. He saw the process as a way of discovering what didn’t
work.
