    • About Me

      Live in the uk. I love my job. I have been struggling with depression for a long time but the last 4 years I have been very unwell. I am trying hard to overcome this but finding it tough. I would like to offer my support to other people going through difficult times. Always happy to talk.

    • I’m With You

      From scotsman1 March 16

      Changes in our routines could improve our feelings and emotions I seam to think that keep doing the same things over and over expecting better results does not work. Facing conditions we would like to change, letting go of things we wish had been different, takes tolerance and patience and growth. It is to easy to deceive ourselves we'd be happier.” if only they would change, If only I had a better job, If only people would get how I feel. If only I could get them back in my life Impatience, intolerance, Depression in fact any negative attitude is habit forming. Many of us continue to struggle with the habits we have formed. Bad habits can be replaced with new, good habits. Ones that please us, think about how we would like to be in this existence, happy "oh no that is to hard" is our first reaction because that is the habit we have formed, what if we practice to smile at people we meet or a stranger that walks past us regularly, or even be brave enough to say good morning and smile, the more we repeat good new behavior it becomes a good habit. Tolerance of others opens up a good chance they will be tolerant of us, this breed’s confidence, and nurtures how we feel about ourselves we learn to give and how to receive it. It is a gift to us and those around us. This is not as easy as it sounds we have to search for different things to fill out time things that we used to enjoy and force ourselves to change our normal daily activities that never seem to work with the ones that used to make us happy the depression stops us from remembering the fun things. Exercise, A movie, Swimming, Walking, Talking, Listening to music. Get out-side for a simple walk. Go-Carting. Horse riding, Fishing. Rent a rowboat at the local park. Hang in there in can get better. It might not feel like it right now but be Patient.
