Sometimes I think trying to make friends is kind of backwards. Try to be a friend to others with no agenda other than to be helpful. When i get opportunities to give of myself, it is very satisfying.
You have to make the effort to see positives. It is so easy to see the negatives. It takes effort to see the positives. Make the choice every day to look for good things to be thankful for. Say things out loud, like, Sis, your hair is sure pretty and shiny today. Or, thank you so much for saying I have a great personality . It means a lot to me. Or, if your sister is negative, open your arms and ask if she needs a hug. You may shock her, but reward her shock with a big grin.

this is great advice!! do what is good for you. working out is good for you in so many ways. it calms your anxiety, it gives you a feeling of accomplishment, it helps you sleep...and it does help with weight loss too. I also think that giving to others is a great help to us mentally and emotionally, it takes us out of our own issues and it is just very rewarding. you can actually lose yourself in it and at the end of the day the world is a different place. hang in there!!
