Do you struggle with positivity?

It is a struggle for me. Everything is.

I convince myself everyday to do what I have to do, to be as I have to be because I have to.
What are my choices? I have no choice but to live this life and accept it and practice positivism.

Well like my username suggests I’m ever hopeful. I think it’s easier if you have some hope in you that things are going to turn out ok (somehow).

It doesn’t hurt if you have hope.

Hope for what? I have no hope. The only miracle which would happen is if I change. My character changes, I will start loving my life.

Ah. That may be the crux of your problem. There’s always hope. Just have a bit of trust that things will get better and it could unjam your thinking and outlook.

I am glad you say that. I ‘hope’ things work out well for you :slight_smile:

It will take some sort of miracle for me.

It’s not good to be too positive, it’s really a front. It’s not good to laugh at ur problems either, cuz sz is a serious matter.

I am a positive guy despite everything i been and will go through. Ppl always expect me to be high-functioning cuz i come off so well. But i wont tell u how i’m positive, u’ll have to find out for yourself how to get there.

What meds are you on? I was on 4 MG of risperidone and it was depressing me. I would cry every day. Eventually I acclimated and reduced my dose. It was better.

When I was depressed, I was very, very negative and full of negativity. I never had anything positive to say. My cup was always empty. I was a drag to be around. And everybody told me so.

Today, it is the exact opposite. I’m not depressed anymore, and I always have a smile and a hello for everyone. I ask them how they are doing. And I am sincerely interested. I can make small talk. I am happy and content.

I struggle with it most when physical health problems arise. Those really send me into a world of p------d off feelings.

Other than that, i guess i am positive 60% of the time. i dont know if that is good, average or bad though.
