My mindset and outlook has really improved how I react to stressful situations and made me less likely to get depressed because of something someone has said or done.
BUT thats just the reactive depression that everybody including the normals get...
I'm not convinced that it can greatly affect my bipolar depression (that's what I call the mood swings that come from nowhere) which doesn't need a reason for being... it just is
Maybe i have more influence over it than i realise, maybe it would be worse if i indulged it and gave in rather than struggling to keep on going through it, believing it will get better.
I know somethings can help it: healthy sleep habits, exercise and going outside all help my mood, so why not how I think????
Great topic... food for thought, maybe i will try to do some positive thinking rather than reaching for some chocolate
