Hi everyone. Just wanted to vent a little I guess. I’ve got so many blessings to be thankful for. I’ve been depressed for quite sometime. I fell into a deep depression about 3 years ago. I actually did wind up in a hospital for a few days and could go back to work. I tried going back to work but I honestly couldn’t function. Today’s been a bit rough, I guess cause I’m focusing on the negative things in my life I’ve got so many blessings but I keep focusing on the negative ones. Samson
Rough day. : Hi everyone. Just... - Anxiety and Depre...
Rough day.
Hi Samson. That happens to many of us from time to time. But knowing that we get no where in focusing on the negative things should help us look outside that circle of fear.
Something I use when that happens is to ask myself "does it serve any purpose"? If the answer is no, they we need to delete it from our minds and concentrate on all the positives in our lives. (oh they are there)
Something else that may help is going to my profile and checking out a post I did a year ago called The Black Dot. I think you will recognize yourself (as we all did) in reading it.
I'm sorry you are having such a rough day, we all have them and it's hard to get through. I think it can be difficult to just shake off the negative feelings sometimes but it does sound good that you have positive things in your life today. Perhaps just now you have to go with feeling a bit low and know that it will pass. Keep in touch I hope you feel better soon x
Well, at least you are aware of this. Keep up the good work, and it takes a lot to be honest.
