sad&stuck

Hi @STORMGRL101,

Sorry to hear your feeling sad about the hospital report. Did they at least give you information about the diagnosis? Or did they suggest different support options, if you want them?

Hang in there. There is hope. I had depression for many years. Depression is connected to Helplessness which what you've written shows this. Helplessness is also related to our fears. I had lots. It takes away our strength and energy because our attempts to fix it according to our truth s don't work.very well. Most of those truths were learned as children and worked for us as children but don't necessarily work in the real world. We spend a lot of time in loop thinking and most of that loop thinking has negative connotations. In some ways we literally get what we keep negatively thinking. That's the power of words. Instead of the negative self talk it takes a discision to love self and others. A discision to commit to using more affirming language of self that we believe and use regularly. It takes awhile after all the negative program you have been inputting started at a very early age. It takes turning on your watcher to notice that self talk you have been doing that is often almost unconscious. By writting or picking affirmations that take a positive spin on the negative's you regularly use and replace the affirmation with the old script everytime you catch yourself about to use the old script. In fact repeat the affirmation a few times to help counteract some of that past input. There are other tools as well. like Gratitude Journals Affirmations surrounded by doodling. Explore, be creative muster your strength to be active and mindful at the same time, Meditate using affirmations Tjos os pm;u a start/ commit to learning and growing yourself to wards ways you really want to be. I could go on for pages but the reality is unless your ready to hear this it will go unheard. Hope you've reached that place where you really want change for it is then most start to make change because they get it is only self that can make a diference to you jour being..
