Victimorthecrime Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Just wanted to post some general words of encouragement to all by saying that I am feeling better in recent days and believe me if it can happen for me it can happen for anyone. How? Let me post some bullet points in no particular order:Being positive & supportive with myself.Getting centered & thinking constructively.Getting busy, enjoying even small accomplishments.Emphasizing good health in all it's aspects. Having fun in non self-destructive ways. Avoiding negativity about things I cannot effect.Focusing my energy where it can yield result.

Victimorthecrime Posted April 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 The other thing that works is positive affirmations. Sometimes we so completely identify w our mental diagnosis & suffering that we block out any idea of improvement and a lot of time is wasted. Thanks for the kind word IJ hope things are good w you too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dvnJ22 Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 I don't every time I look at people with recovered mental illness I think they are pathetic. It's just an ghost of what should be. I don't they are as happy as they settled. Don't mean to be a downer, but it's my argument for futility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrmaJean Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 I think that all of us have struggles, at times, and we all likely have some issues. I also think it's important that we recognize our needs and take of ourselves.When you say "what should be" dvn, what do you mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victimorthecrime Posted April 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 I understand what say dvnJ22 & here is where I see it differently: if a person did not settle, if it was not the ghost but the actual 'what should be' I believe that negatively minded people would manage to twist the otherwise happy situation into, as you say, a downer. You see this constantly in life, a guy or gal who "has it all" from the world's point of view and squandering it all through addiction or recklessness. Nothing can save someone from themselves. On the other hand there are those w little worldly possessions or accomplishments that are always blissing out because of loving heart & a surrendered unattached mind.
