Importance of focusing on Positive with Depression & Anxiety.

Thank you for this message which made me feel good. I am getting ready to see my primary care physician this morning. Ironic that I have to drive almost an hour for a meager 10 to 15 minute appointment. Unfortunately my family is not close to me and in more ways that one. My youngest son and his family were there, but not for me. I have discussed this rift with him and it is partially mended but it will never be the same. Right now I just want to be alone. Perhaps that will change with time. We will see. But it is people like you who keep me going. Thank you again.

@thisismarilynb I hope your appointment goes well, and you take the opportunity to do a few more errands or tasks while you are out. Then treat yourself to something frivolous! Make it your day!
A partially mended rift indicates to me that there is still hope for more positive stuff to happen there. It takes time. It won't all happen at once. "Go with the flow" as they say, and keep an open mind to build on the mending. That's what I did with a family member, whom I have been estranged from for decades. It is a slow process, but it is a process going forward and getting better. Rome wasn't built overnight, and neither are mended relationships.
