Hi, my screen name is Display.

i've woken up in a depressed mood. i really hate this kind of day. so much garbage going through my head. all my problems seem to descend on me at once.

it's really hard to fight the negative thinking. that's why i am here. it helps to share with others.

i know what i need to do - take my shower and get dressed and eat. i have something to go do today, so i will do that, and hope the depressed thought and feelings get lost in that.

thanks for listening,

They most likely will when you continue to push forward...

Keep up the good work.

Hugs, Karen

Those days do stink but at least you have something to force yourself out of bed for. To me that's the hardest part. So it sounds you're already on the move to making it a not so bad day.

thanks angelic and getting by,

i just wish there was a better way out of the negative thinking. it's so hard to fight it. maybe i just need to let it all go through my head? i just hate the warped thinking, but it seems so much a part of me.

it's like each day, first thing, my brain has to summon up lots of worries and anxiety. i wonder what it would be like if i didn't have this.

in any case, thanks for your speedy replies.

I can send ya my kids. They wake you before you have time to think! Lol. It's really hard to fight those negative thoughts. I'm trying to get mine under control with therapy and I know other members have tons of other good ways to stop that process.

AV,

thats kinda funny! lol.

Display, may I suggest that first thing in the am, you take a note book and pen, write down exactly the words that are going through your head, just keep writing; like a dumping ground.

Then, near the end of the day, go back and "challenge" those words with what actually happened.

Then write your feeling about the comparison.

This helps me tremendously on days like you are having today.
I found out soon, these days become less.

Stay strong
Peace
Trina

Yoga or exercise or morning walk really helps you in boosting your mind and keeps you away from depressed mood.
