Keep moving forward

[quitter333]

I.. I think I am done. Today I realized I am not depressed anymore. Nothing particular happened even.. but there is no depression. I even recently split with a girlfriend and.. did not really stress about it. A bit sad but acceptable.

And you know what.. all this time I kept going no matter what happened in life - I have had heart broken, my wallet completely broken, jobless and weak physically, and weak mentally... but I pushed and pushed and kept going to work, kept working on my ideas, kept going to gym, kept finding positive in and with people, and I think that's it.

I FEEL depression had no more options, and it has literally died... depression has been conquered and given up.

And the more you keep going, life gives more and more opportunities. People see you working on business, at job, working out, they want your help, they admire.. and life gives more and more opportunities to earn, love, live.

Rocky was right "No matter who you are, life is gonna hit you the hardest. And it's not about how hard you can hit, but about how hard you can GET hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take, and keep moving forward".

It can be done. I have no doubts anymore!

Keep going forward, mates! Intensively, calmly, sideways, walk, crawl, skip, but keep going forward!

❤️ I wish I had your strength, im currently trying this approach with my anxiety but failing miserably today, it’s just so exhausting but tomorrow is another day

You know what allowed me to "click" out of anxieties and depressive states often? I simply did everything much slower and calmer. I imagined how I look from aside and simply did everything more calmly and surely (even drinking tea, smoking, working). It allowed to feel really good control, and I did not rush no matter what.

Hah, have you seen old Clint Eastwood movies, like "For a few dollars more"? In some scenes where they talk with bad guys, he literally barely moves, slowly takes a cigar. Very grounded and strong stance. Look for that in your daily life. Just make your morning coffee as if you are being filmed and need to appear super cool and smooth and confidently calm. It sounds fun, but the more often you do it, the brain just clicks to calm mode. This's a small real-working advice.

This is brilliant advice for me. I rush around mentally and physically, like a hyperactive ferret. From now on I’m gonna try the “ being filmed” advice. Thankyou. so much take care x

[quitter333 in reply to Hidden]

You're welcome! That ferret-iness is good, but not when you are trying to concentrate, right?

[Hidden in reply to quitter333]

Right 👍🏻😂🎄

So exhausting. Agree.

I’ve been in that place before. I call it “hitting bottom.”

[quitter333 in reply to Kat63]

I think I bounced really really well

That is amazing! So happy for you. I will be praying for your continuous recovery and that all of us on here eventually find our paths to do the same.
