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?

Getting my 2nd shot on 3-14 and feel like it’s so important that we encourage everyone to get their COVID vaccinations. Please get them.

2 ReactionsCongratulations on structuring your life so well. I am retired, and Covid has made involvement difficult. It is also interesting how difficult it is to give one’s time away, but eventually I have been able to give church/outreach activities my time. Anything which takes the focus off self is a good practice.

I have appointment with Cardiologist on March 19th.Happy about that, as I’m anxious to know how the defibrillator is doing?
I really want to know if the pain in my heart is from that or the Anxiety making me think it is?
Either way ,it will be good to know, .then I can deal with it.

Les Brown is a terrific motivational speaker. Bless all of you going through depression, sadness, loneliness etc. and remember that only God is in control.
