I am larning to practice deep breathing.
There will be good days.
There will be bad days.
@agreeableKite6479
Yes, deep breathing definitely helps in us relaxing and seeing things clearer. It's true- there will be good days and there will be bad days, but like everything else in life, it's all temporary. Thank you for sharing with us! :D xx
Step 860- I've learned that it's okay to be alone sometimes
@safeandsoundta
Oh wow, step 860!!! CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU!!! 🎉🎉🎉 you've done some serious growing, my friend!
And yes, so true. It's OK and good to be alone sometimes if we need it- it helps us recharge, see things from a different perspective and gives us some time for reflection. xx
@safeandsoundta Congrats on your outstanding progress! Being alone can have its benefits especially when we need to gather our emotions.
I am more aware of what triggers my depression
@agreeableKite6479
Being aware of our triggers is an awesome thing to do!! It really helps in reducing the severity of our episodes. xx
I am drinking less alcohol
@agreeableKite6479
That is awesome, Kite! Keep it up :) xx
I am learning to let my feelings be and when I am sad always repeat to myself that this too shall pass.
@Totheskyandbeyond I love your way of thinking! Nobody likes to be sad, but it is natural to feel sad at times. Knowing how to cope with it makes a difference, and you have the right idea. Well done!
@lovelyWhisper66 Thanks =)
@Totheskyandbeyond
Yes! I'm so glad you're focusing on the emotion, and knowing that it will pass. Emotions, as with everything else in life, are just temporary. It won't last, and it won't knock you down so hard that you can never get back up. Love it, keep it going! :) xx
@rebecca947 Yeah sometimes returns the feeling but that happens.
@Totheskyandbeyond
Emotions can return, but at least by then you might have realised that you survived the last bout of sadness/emotion, and you can do it again. And that it was temporary before, and it will be again this time. :) xx
@rebecca947 Hmmm good point!
Alcohol makes my depression worse
Step 130 in growth path. Learned that physical activity and eating well is important.
@creativePenwriter7465
Woohoo on step 130!! That is awesome!
And yes, healthy living in general is so important- have you checked out the Healthy Living forum subcommunity? It might be of interest to you :)
Keep eating well and working out! :) xx
Thank you @rebecca947. No I didn't know there was one. I'll go check it out. Thanks I'll do my best. :)
Alcohol does not solve my problems
