I had a therapy session and in it we spoke about giving emotions color. I picked blue for depression and pink for happiness.

I know blue all to well. It says I'm not good at anything, that i'm worthless, I'm a failure. The list goes on and on and most of the time I'm stuck there and there doesn't seem to be a way out.

Then I think of pink and how it says I am worthy of love and support and that there are good things that I do. I am good at something if I put my mind to it. I care for people and I want to be able to be compassionate with them.

When I'm blue I try to write a journal in all my pink feelings. It's really hard, but can help out in the long run. I am not a bad person, just have a chemical imbalance that can cause things to go askew.

None of us are bad people, some just don't lack the confidence to see it that way, or have no support.

Another color I've been writing about is orange which is my motivation. I'm slowly getting more motivated to do things, but it seems like it will be a bumpy road. I just need to get over things and practice more self love.

If y'all had to pick colors for moods what would they be and what would they tell you?

Remember the object is to be happy. Not balls to the wall happy all the time, but at least have a glimmer of hope.
