I use to be positive.i have had so many bad things happen I am scared to get out of bed. I was in denial when I was happy. Things always get worse. My husband clotted subside I said be positive. I build a life with a fiancé and his bipolar daughter goes on drugs and has twins she abuse my only son is schizo effective and my mother is demented and grieving. We owe the national deficit from his illness.
I am scared of torrow.

i think it very well might be my sz… or it might be the fact that my mother
is a very negative person with untreated mental illness and she doesn’t
even think she has a problem… sighs… she is a real bitch…

I would say I’m a negative person. I tend to see worst case scenarios.
I would say I am a closet positive person living in a negative persons body.
Im more of a negative person but im trying to be more positive. Wait @saphire2014 does that mean your both?
I’m more negative than positive but I have my moments.
Unfortunately, I am more negative than positive, but yes I am both. According to my neighbors I am a very positive person. My family and therapist thinks I am very negative with an bitingly ironic wit.
I’ve always been a highly optimistic person and I think that’s part of the reason why I made it so far. Once I started to struggle with anxiety though, staying optimistic all the time became difficult and now I feel like I’m torn between being both optimistic and pessimistic depending on my anxiety level that day.
On a personal level I am usually positive. Philosophically, I’m negative. My views on history and religion are usually negative. Philosophically, I am a skeptic. I follow the ancient Greek dictum - “Nothing is certain, not even that.” I’m not too cynical.
Im a positive person most the time. I can be very cynical
Some moments, I am optimistic. Sometimes, I’m not. But, I keep it to myself when I am not. I have worked very very hard to keep everything to myself all my life no matter what may have happen to me. My mother is the one who is so negative. She is so fearful of everything. We live in a small town now and she lives on a far off side street in a neighborhood where most of the residents are over sixty-five. She keeps her car and house locked up like it was Fort Knox. Last week, I told her I may some people out while I was walking on the side street to my building and they invited me to a barbeque. I told them that I had already had dinner. I told my mother and she said “Well you got be so careful” Once, she got me so angry I told her that when my sister was dying of cancer; she was more positive than she is. This is true because two days before she passed away she was planning to take me on a vacation for my birthday which was seven months away. I do think she knew intuitively she was “dying.” My problem is irritability and a short temper. When that goes away, I am more “positive.” No matter what the rest of you who post and read this forum, I still have the mental illness; the schizophrenia. It seems there is always still the disease. It never seems to go away totally; even with meds, therapy, etc, etc, etc.
Yeah I used to be negative but am now positive.
