Could you then draw a conclusion: that
when we experience the normal sort of
peaks and troughs of depression in our
lives, that our self esteem would then go
up when we are not depressed, and down
when we are. In saying that, then we
would chop and change from 'poor me' to
'bad me' depending upon our state of
depression or lack thereof - possibly many
times throughout our lives? Or people
that are mostly depressed, most of the
time, are more likely to be 'bad me' sort
of people. They internalise the blame,
more likely to be suicidal, eating
disorders etc. The 'poor me' people
seem to be the narcissistic sort of types,
that blame everyone else for their
problems, and externalise things.
Hmmmm, you could go as far and start
classifying gender into this too. I
wonder how many women are bad me types,
and men poor me? Would be interesting
if they did further studies on this topic.
Going off on a tangent here...Lol.
