it takes a positive outlook and an open mind to try to overcome this but you cant do it on your own, you need the right med(s) and dose and willingness to change,
change those negative thought patterns by distracting your thoughts when needed
this can be done by
making a nice drink
playing some music
going for a walk
try and question all of the negativity and look for positive ways to explain things
it wasnt as bad as that because…
that cant be right because…
that would never happen because…
i am forever questioning things and distracting myself, it is a good way to cope and deal with things
i still need the odd pep talk though so i can phone the crisis line if i am in trouble and also having a friend around to help is a massive help.
It’s funny, because that’s exactly the meaning your userpic has for me. It’s all well and good to dream about some kind of miraculous intervention coming to save you, but when it comes down to it, the person you have to rely on is yourself. And you’re stronger than you think.
