Positiveness effect?

Good morning, I am really anxious about my life and moods lately, I wish I can understand what Im going through so that I cam be happy.

As some of u may know I got separated from my husband three months ago, his attitude has been very hurtful towards me and I ve had my ups and downs because of it. I am going to therapy and I know that it has help me, but my anxiety came back first with those fears abput me being sick and now the fear of being bipolar...this week I decided i don't want to suffer anymore and i have been very positive and it has worked!!

I now understand I am going through an emotional crisis and I am being positive and for some reason that scares me, I think what if I was depressed and now I am happy is that wrong? Is that normal?

Hi cln,

I am really impressed to read that you were able to turn your thinking around and use some positive thinking to help yourself to feel better! That is really awesome.

The things that you are feeling now are probably just adjustments in your new way of thinking.

If we are accustomed to thinking one way (negatively/fearfully) for a long period of time...even if we change our behavior...the habits of thinking certain ways are not going to be altered overnight.

Each time that you have a doubtful or negative thought, just counter it with a positive one! (the above given by Larry is nice!)

It is a practice...and one that you will get better and better at.

Really proud of you.;)
