Do you have a positive mentality?

[Chippy_boy]

I live alone n’all. I’ve also suffered with depression at times in my life.

It took someone to say to me what I say to other people now; don’t let depression dictate your attitude and actions to you. Fair enough, it can affect your mood, but look above the depression and see the bigger picture and realise there are positives to be had with everything.

That made me understand it better, but what changed my life the most was getting healthy. Feeding yourself with things your body and brain needs, and exercising to get rid of fat it doesn’t need, the nutrients I’m absorbing and the fitness I’ve got to has altered my brain! I now barely ever have any pessimism about anything in my life and it’s like I’ve never suffered with depression, it’s like those years battling through never happened.

Fantastic story and - genuinely - well done you! Inspirational.

That is likely to be true, although I’ve heard this comment a lot but haven’t actually seen if suicide rates have gone up in the last year.

I looked when told they have sky rocketed , they havent gone up much

I also think that stopping believing in things like luck, destiny, omens, superstitions etc. is important. They’re all just a load of fucking nonsense!

There are people who genuinely think “I’m an unlucky person”, but nobody is lucky or unlucky, everything is just purely down to chance and coincidence.

Forget about these magical fantasies of luck and fate, and you’ll notice you’re more positive.

No. But I am positively mental.

why would we be anything but positive. we are alive. we have family. we benefit from science and technology . we earn,we have knowledge and schooling at our fingertips, we have opportunity to achieve . most of all we our freedom of choice , everything we do or dont do is entirely up to us.
we are very lucky believe me.

Thank you! Now I KNOW you’re in a good mood! ;-)

And, if that’s the kind of video I can get for a few CAPS...well, not exactly deterring me, are you?!

Another great post! Spot on.

I struggle a lot with pessimism through having learning disorders.

Having severe ADHD is akin to living life on hard mode. My PFC doesn’t function well, leading to issues with working memory, focus, planning, task initiation and organisation. For instance, my inattention is so bad that yesterday I spent 10 minutes looking for AirPods that were already in my ears.

Autism is a woman too.

Do you have a positive mentality ?

Definitely Maybe

I was brought up on a diet of 'typical City'. What do you think?
