I do agree that focusing too much on our issues can just make it feel worse. In the past I would think about all the negatives, and of course it just made me feel even more depressed. I use this site mainly to support others going through a rough time, as opposed to the past, where I used to use this site to post mainly about what was wrong with me. Since I made that switch, Psych Central has become a positive atmosphere for me. I love reading people's posts about making progress!
I also agree that it's important for people to have a support system. Even as a self-proclaimed schizoid, I have 3 family members that I am close to and can talk to about anything. Communication with others is important, because isolation can just create more negativity.
Thank you for your honest post, and I do hope that you won't fixate so much on your age. You have plenty of life to live!  |
Thank-you! Well said. I'm 45, I am on this site when I need to be. It is important to have an outside world, I have acquired a part time job, where, I have co-workers, one of them I call a friend. As far as she knows, I take nerve pills, that's good enough for me. What was the point I was trying to make? LOL, It's very hard to have a circle of people, my husband and my mom know, but, they do not understand.
