But I'm glad that you are focusing on yourself and trying to make a change.

It doesn't hurt as much.<br /><br />(I was cautiously optimistic about this crapping cycle and look what happened! It had the courtesy to crap all over me. So much for having hope...)<br /><br />Yes, I am in a funk and will be for some time. :(elephantscanrememberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07486414028515515343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051943214739916555.post-86077775295253841422009-11-06T14:23:00.366-08:002009-11-06T14:23:00.366-08:00I completely understand.

If I don't get my hopes up, well then there isn't much to let down is there? <br /><br />As far as being happy "by choice" well, I don't think it works that way. Certainly we can control how positive we want to think or we may *want* to think more positively but the depression won't allow that. The brain is rewired to think differently. <br /><br />I don't know. That is what I have been doing. Merely protecting myself by not allowing myself to hope too much. This way if it doesn't work out, I wont' hurt nearly as bad as if I had been fooled into thinking it was going to work out. KWIM? <br /><br />My counsilor kept trying to "rewire" my way of thinking. The only thing that helped me was Zoloft. It has affected my sexual desire somewhat but not enough for me to say this isn't worth it.<br /><br />Hang in there Kit. You know what is best for you.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17193871208271881735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051943214739916555.post-81681247255528036892009-11-06T11:54:48.955-08:002009-11-06T11:54:48.955-08:00Poor Atticus!
I know how you feel. Can you tell ...Poor Atticus! <br /><br />I know how you feel. Can you tell from my recent posts, that I am falling deeper and deeper? I feel like Alice and the rabbit hole. <br /><br />I agree that it just takes the right attitude...and thinking more optimistically is probably the first step! I'm glad you want to take strides to get mentally healthy. Let me know how the exercise works hun. :)<br /><br />((hugs))Caitlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01559854928702888868noreply@blogger.com
