This was a joke post. I’m a pessimist.

I should have known! I have a friend that specializes in pessimism. I still love him & his gentle heart although sometimes I don't know when he's just kidding. Thank you for reminding me of him.

No thanks

[animefan94]

It was supposed to be funny.

[Pinkie56 in reply to animefan94]

Its ok. Not all of my jokes are appreciated either. Don't stop making jokes. Humor is what saves us all.

3. My friends at Mountain View.

We have an extremely spoilt Red tabby called Baby who is 17!

Whatever gene makes them tabby makes them awesome. If you're lucky to have a red tabby, well you've got the cat that God had intended all along. Simply the best.

My seven year old tends to be a pessimist. I’m trying to nudge him into being a realist.

I asked him what he was thankful for. He couldn’t make a list. I asked him to think about losing the things he wasn’t thankful for. Then I asked him to tell me three things he was thankful for. Somehow that jogged his memory and I really think the gratitude improved his own outlook.

My friend encouraged me to make gratitude list for a month. Right now it doesn't help. EX. I am grateful for: ceiling fan, thunderstorm, lemonade. She is a positive and strong woman, and always was so cheerful in her answers. I quit doing it.

[Rafiki11 in reply to samack]

I definitely understand that. Have you tried being thankful for your body? I’m thankful for my brain, my eyes, my lungs, my thumbs, my fingers, my feet, my sense of taste, my soul, my heart, and so much more. They work so hard for me every day to keep me alive and allow me to experience enjoyment and help others.

aw 😒

I'm glad you made another post about what you are grateful for. I think doing that helps put things in perspective, even if it's small things gratitude leads to happiness (in some sense)

[samack]

Makes sense. I often detach from my body so I neglect seeing it. Thanks.

Technically speaking thats being grateful for something . Receiving nothing means it doesn't raise ur stress & anxiety levels & doesn't add to any depression.

So how much work are you doing on ur thoughts & feelings & of course keeping depression at bay?
