Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.

Congratulations on your engagement it is normal to start to feel fear and second thoughts and all the what if's.
Fear is almost always based on the future
and more than half our fears never happen.
Today I will not be afraid of anything. If my mind is clouded by nameless dreads.
I will track them down and expose their unreality. I will remind myself I am in charge of my day and me, tell myself what happened yesterday, the past would not happen today.
This is a brand New Shinning day and I have it in my power to make it a good one by the way I want it and think it should be and what I choose to do with it fear free.
I will not be so ready to entertain fears of what might happen. If I concentrate on today there will be no room in my mind for fret and worrying I will fill this day with good things and once this day is over I will look back and be satisfied that there was no fear.
We can choose to be brave; having courage doesn't mean that we are with out fear. It means only that we decide to act in spite of these fears.
We become scared of our own shadow we find things to make us afraid and worry. Where can we find the courage we once had, it has to be buried somewhere deep down.
We have to face our fears, worries and challenge how real they are we tend to judge our fears from past experiences, or future things we anticipate will happen we dont know any better. We should not blame ourselves we have had a tough life and many things negative have happened in the past and we become addicted to expect the worst.
The future is just that it has not arrived yet and we have no control over it we can make plans and look forward but we can not control the outcome so dont waste fear or worry.
What we do have and can do a lot about is the Moment we have a choice enjoy it or be sad any one can enjoy one moment we dont have to think we can do it for the rest of our lives but if we try each moment to be happy and fearless, it will soon become a habit and we will be able to let joy and a little happiness back in to our life it is only for a Moment.
