Are depressed people more realistic?

Actually... it is existentialism (and nihilism to make room for that) which do the whole 'making your own meaning' bits, not atheism. But, I understand what you're doing, and this sin't a philosophical discussion Heart *nag nag, nitpicking-noseness, nag nag*

...

I find that depressed people are often rather unrealistic, going so far as to think ridiculous things like 'nobody loves them' or 'they're worthless' or 'they aren't pretty' or 'they aren't thin enough' or 'I CAN'T MAKE IT!', or <insert baffling self-depreciation here>.

How 'realistic'(?) one's understanding of their life happens to be is not related to how they value it. Depressed people are negatively valuing, cheerful people are positively valuing... neither are more or less realistic than the other.

Infact... if we're going for 'outlook least likely to be affected by emotion to point of fabricating or modifying data': it is apathy.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
