Being positive when dealing with depression is hard. Near impossible at times, believe me, I know. Finding a small bit of positivity in the sea of black.
I feel like we never talk about some of the ugly truths that are a part of struggling with your mental health. So I’d like to take the time today to do just that.
Do others come first; do you put yourself last? While this may seem very selfless and noble, it has consequences that will eventually catch up with you.
The emotions rise uncontrollably in their old familiarity. Immediately the mind tries to investigate the cause. What is the answer at times like these?
Here are some ideas I have tried that work well for me, and a few that I’d like to try. Again, be sure to choose what is practical and feels right for you!
These things help me get through those days that can loom above us like impossibly steep, overbearing mountains. The little things are key to survival.
