Just trying to share what I have learned.

First off I'm not going to say this website has cured me but it is 1 of many tools that I use to help myself.  A huge comfort that I have discovered was that I am not alone. I have lost a lot as many of you know but reliving events that have happened isn't good for me. I only leave the posts on my journal for others to read and see what I have been through.  It's not good to always revisit your past and recycling those negative emotions.  I actually caught myself doing this. This website can be negative for you if you do this and that's 1 reason why I'm posting this. Another reason is that I have another tool that I discovered, another tool that has helped me, a short book about 50 pages long that took me about 2 hours to read. This book has helped me realize how important loving yourself truly is and it gives you a couple of simple steps to take that can actually help you replace negative thoughts with positive ones. The book is called ( Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It).  I  suggest you give it a read if you have low self esteem or just don't like who you are. It won't fix you but it will give you extra tools to improve your own life. Simple things that  probably make you wonder Why didn't I think of that. I think many of us have a huge cloud of depression looming over us, blinding us from simple truths and that's why we can't see it. The book won't help everyone because you have to want to change.  I have discovered a love for myself and my life seems much more beautiful because I am trying to fix myself and I have some pretty good tools I use to see the beauty in life in general. 
 
If anyone knows of a good self help book or something that will just help others discover the beauty of life in general please let me know about it. I enjoy learning about myself and improving my way of life.
