Every time I drank, I could feel pieces of me leaving. I continued to drink until there was nothing left. Just emptiness.”

"Depressive realism is the hypothesis developed by Alloy and Abramson] that depressed individuals make more realistic inferences than non-depressed individuals. Although depressed individuals are thought to have a negative cognitive bias that results in recurrent, negative automatic thoughts, maladaptive behaviors, and dysfunctional world beliefs, depressive realism argues not only that this negativity may reflect a more accurate appraisal of the world but also that non-depressed individuals’ appraisals are positively biased."
