Is it really? Could it be? I can't believe it.
It's Wednesday.
I am not feeling very profound but yesterday I was. I have been working on my depression and it has been helping to some degree. You can have an effect on mood and you can control your attitudes. I am proof of that. I made a list yesterday. The idea was simple. List out the symptoms of depression that you are having. Then write out the opposites and act on the opposites.
For example when I am depressed I am not active. So become active. I don't do anything. So I do some chores. I feel purposeless. So I find a purpose. I sleep. So I get up and move around. I fear. So I become brave. After I did everything in the list I felt a lot better. (I did manage to slip back into it though)
By counteracting depression's symptoms I counteract depression.
I completely control my actions. I control my thoughts. I influence the depression by how I act and think. You don't necessarily control depression. But you can influence it one way or another.
Don't let it be the other way. You'll just be miserable. If you let depression control your actions and thoughts you can forget about ever being happy.
'nuff said.
