Final thoughts for today...

For today, I learned that sometimes crying helps to relieve the overwhelming issues of the day. The most important thing that I did was evaluated what made me feel the sadness in the first place and try not to point fingers at whose fault it was for me feeling that way. Since I decided to think before I reacted to responses from others, I learned that sometimes words or body language can be taken the wrong way and I need to make sure I find out what the person meant by what they said. In other words, "Did you mean this when you said that?" or "I don't understand what you meant by that. Can you explain, please?" A huge catastrophe could have happened today if I did not think before I spoke or reacted to someone very close to me. Relationships could have been diminished and many people surrounding us could have been hurt in the process. My advice is to take a breath, think about what is being said, ask what is meant by those words, and then respond in a loving way, by all means. So proud of myself for not letting things fester without asking about it first. Festering thoughts are kinda my thing. I'm tired of the festering, so time to let wounds heal and move on with my chin up and keep striving for a better me. HUGS to all who are taking on the tidal waves of the emotional beast called Depression. Much love from your sister from another mister.
