You need to hang out with fun people. Beating depression is great but you need to find fun in yourself and things around you. I crack myself up ALL the time. If you are a happy, fun person then others will see you as someone they want to hang with to have fun also. Find people who's personality's are different from your own. They will take you places that you wouldn't go on your own. The first rule of happiness is to be happy yourself and then life is happy... Link to post Share on other sites
spinner Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 That is very true, people will be attracted to you if you are happy with yourself. I really like that first rule of happiness. I've used it myself. Find something you really enjoy doing, for me it's bowling or horseback riding and I've met several fun and nice people. I'm not saying it is easy at times but certainly worth the effort. Link to post Share on other sites
Author finalf72 Posted August 11, 2005 Author Share Posted August 11, 2005 interesting, i do tend to repress negative thoughts, maybe it is still down there in me. and if i am still depressed, and if i do crave stimulation, if i just get stimulation would that make me all better? i never took meds, i just got a little therapy and in that they tought me ways to combat depresson, like diet and excersize and positive self - affirmations, and stress managment.

whichwayisup Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Distraction is a good way of changing those negative thought patterns. When you feel yourself slipping and feeling those feelings, DO something different. Recognize the time of day you start to feel down. I'm sure there's a pattern so what you have to do is break that routine. Meet a friend for an hour, or go work out, go shopping or talk on the phone, that way you don't feel alone and so blah... Be aware of what it is that is making you feel down too. Write about it, get it out, I find that helps me alot. Have you thought about seeing a therapist? I currently am, my therapist is wonderful and since I suffer from an anxiety disorder the type of therapy I do is helping me cope with those feelings, fighting the anxiety and changing my thought pattern to be more positive. Cognitive Behaviour Therapy is the type of therapy I'm in now. Talk to your doctor about finding someone who specializes in this field. I do think it will help you alot.
