Importance of focusing on Positive with Depression & Anxiety.
In my journey with the millions of humans who are brave enough to go down the path of recovery without alcohol, bad drug and more drugs, I have gradually more and more discovered how important it is to crawl out of my deep hole, bad attitude, self-importance, feeling sorry for myself, angry, sad, etc, etc, condition and more toward the LIGHT!!! That means changing and moving for me away from some friends that are very negative about everything. That means walking around the block when I get upset so I can calm down and see the light. That means taking care of myself, exercising, eating right and meeting new friends and keeping old friends that are well-balanced. Positivity in life is available to everyone and it's FREE. I have gone on a path throughout my early days of self-medicating with lots of alcohol, drug, etc. I cleaned myself up in 1996, OCT 13th but I still did not feel right until I could ask for help from a professional. Found out I was GAD (inherited from my MOM) and a few other close seconds. I went on medication for years on various meds until I found the chemical that keeps me pretty normal. BUT, BUT...something else was missing because I still suffered through the negativity of every situation that I could create in a moments time.
I love these groups because you are honest with yourself which is very important.
Finding good friends that understand you and the importance of staying positive with your journey through life.
Taking good care of yourself.
We all are unique so what works for me does not always work for you. I'm on 20mg of Lexipro.
What do other people do to stay positive?

SNOW! I hope you have some shelter for the duckies, They are going to freeze their feathers off. It’s cold here in California too. I’m not sure if I’m going to brave the crisp sunny weather to walk today or not maybe it’ll warm up later. It’s 69 now.

Anyway, it’s illegal to hunt, kill or eat flamingos. However, I understand some countries eat flamingo eggs. I’m guessing they would taste like chicken or duckies but they eat shrimp, seaweed and stuff so maybe a fishy ducky taste. Beautiful graceful birds. We have wild turkeys, deer, bobcats and herons in my subdivision...not to mention a ton of squirrels and lizards....a regular smorgasbord.
I’ll pass thanks,

Nope I wouldn’t survive that. I would freeze in mid stride if I didn’t flash freeze the second I went outside or opened the door.
I was in a blizzard in Colorado once in Denver and it was actually around zero but I wasn’t really cold. To this day I don’t understand that.
