Impulsiveness In Depression 💙

One of the symptoms of depression that's not talked about very often is impulsiveness. Often people who are suffering from depression will have lots of avoidance mechanisms because they can't cope with what's going on in their lives, it's just too much. 💙

And so when reality tries to impose itself, if putting in place one of those avoidance measures happens rapidly, like I just have to escape, then that can seem like impulsiveness. So if you have been called impulsive or you think you might be impulsive, you may want to have a think about whether that's actually because of an avoidance mechanism in that you're putting in place, because you can't cope with life, and you might actually be depressed. 💙
