There is Hope!!!

I have fought depression for 20 plus yrs.I have taken so many antidepressants that I have lost count.I have sought help from everything from therapy to essential oils to books.I am here to tell you,there is a light at the end of this!I am currently still fighting,but for the first time,I am winning!!My story is quite long,so I am trying to shortin it as much as I can.I have learned so much about depression,and one major factor is,it takes time to actually become "depressed",I mean we don't just wake up one day,depressed.So from whatever or whomever,that first negative thought entered your mind,you began dwelling and feeding that thought.Before you know it,there is another and another,and so on.To the point that you believe what you continue to repeat to yourself.So after some time,the thoughts can become so harsh and worrisome that you and life seem unbearable. You have now programmed your mind to think and believe these thoughts.(Look at it like a computer,if u will).You have got to reprogram yourself!!I started by listening to uplifting "EVERYTHING".My personal favorite is Joyce Meyers and Joel Osteen,its been amazing!!I even started saying what I liked about myself,(and boy that was hard) ,and counting all my blessings. EVERYTIME a negative thought popped in my head,I immediately cut it off and turned it into a positive!!I am not going to tell you that this has been a peice of cake because its been the hardest thing I have ever done,but ya no what,I deserve it and so do you.My life continues to get brighter and my faith has grown more than ever.I hope this will help you,and I would love to share the rest of my story with anyone that is interested.Anyway,thanks for reading so far,and remember be POSITIVE!
