Also I want to ask something how can you be kind,patient and caring to yourself when your brain just won't have it? Isn't that a major part of depression. I look after myself,I eat a healthy diet,I exercise despite having fibromyalgia but the one thing I can't do is have loving thoughts towards myself. I've had mental health problems all my life and have often been told to be kind to myself and at age 45 I still can't do it. My anxiety goes into a frenzy. All I can dois standup to it. It would be nice to have a perfect world where we were all ultra kind to ourselves but life isn't like that. I can try for sure but I just end up feeling worse.
