It's been a much better couple of days since I found this group. I saw a little phrase today..."no rain, no flowers," reminded me that if I hadn't felt so low a few days ago I wouldn't have found the support here. For anyone feeling low today, I hope the flowers come up for you soon.

Some rain is good. I agree. But floods of sad thoughts are unhealthy. Like most things in life, medium is good. Sometimes a struggle to find.
I don’t know. Even floods have their purpose. Hard and cruel as they are. I just don’t want one to come for you or me. 🌺🌺🌼🌺🌺
So true! I often say that I might not even recognize or appreciate the beauty and the joy without the hard painful times. 🌺💗💗💗💗💗🌺
I love this positive view. Sometimes simple ideas can become helpful mantras.
Very true, thank you. While I would not wish serious anxiety or depression on anyone, fact is that some ups and downs are part of life. When I had a breakdown years ago, I experienced more mental and physical pain than I'd ever known. And yet I would not erase that experience if I could. It gave me coping skills and taught me to be a better husband, father, and human being. Though hard to believe at the time, the greatest challenges can also turn out to be the greatest gifts.
Thank you so much
Sure wish it was not true. However, we do learn our lessons in difficult ways.
Lately I've been praising myself for getting thru some mighty small, tight obstacles in my life. I know the big guns of anxiety/panic have taken their way with me.
The only thing any of us can do is search to find alternative ways of dealing with the changes. Therapy does help. Not enough.
Tapping and breathing with the use of Rescue Remedy (check Google for details) are my go to places first and foremost. Don't know if the Vit. D is making things so much worse or if it's something else. Stopped taking SAMe. Anxiety still continues to push and pull to take over.
I have several physical issues that nag at me too.
What do you do to stay positive? Negativity makes things so much worse.
