Step 250

Don't let little things ruin my mood or my day. I'm much stronger than that and if I focus on the positives and keep myself busy everything will get better.

I helped keep my aunt who is experiencing a mania episode from wondering off alone :D

I've learnt to regulate my mood better recently. I have anxiety disorder and depression. In the past, I used to write down my thoughts to stop overthinking but over time, I soon realized that jotting down racing thoughts didn't always work so I tried to make use of the self-help guides about anxiety and depression on 7cups. It's very helpful to follow the instructions in the guides. I have learnt to indetify my faulty thoughts and replace them with healthy alternative thoughts. Some of my faulty thoughts are automatic so I guess in the future, I need to remind myself constantly that I'm good enough in order to fix my automatic thoughts

Focus on the positive and what you truly want. Fight the negative sad thoughts.

I'm learning to take a step back when it all seems like so much.

Acceptance of a situation is key.

I learned that community like 7cups can really help me put my life in perspective because I know that I am not alone, that we are all in this together in one way or another

I really connected well with my very first listener. I have talked to a few others Thai I connected with well too. During difficult times it is great to have something positive to do to take my mind off of the stresses I'm gong through.

This shall pass too...
