Today I choose life. Every morning when I wake up I can choose joy, happiness, negativity, pain... To feel the freedom that comes from being able to continue to make mistakes and choices - today I choose to feel life, not to deny my humanity but embrace it. - Kevyn Aucoin

Who says being negative is essentially a bad thing. Well guess what, you and all of us, overcome our obstacles because our negativity.

Our mind usually sticks to the negative thoughts to survive, it's a simple fight or flight situation that help us overcome a dangerous situation.

Negativity represents our gut, instincts, reflexes and sometimes our decisions. Negative emotions also most likely aid in our survival. Bad feelings can be vital clues that a health issue, relationship or other important matter needs attention.

So stop running away from the source that helping you to realize your weaknesses and pointing out the thing you need to take care of and listen carefully to what your negativity is telling you to do.

That's a really good thought. Negative emotion is part of being human. But I think there is a line between natural negativity and being stuck in it, no? That's my instinct. Because even if depression is based in a survival instinct, mine doesn't really help me survive. It's made me a better person, but I still fight for my life every day.

@heatherh11

well my friend, being stuck on it,means in a way that you are not listening to what it's telling you, which i call a " survival defult "

for example

if your depression telling you " you are alone " then you should start socializing (find friends, embrace a hobby, join a club, increase your communacation skills..etc)

And Above all , understanding it " the depression "
