please find new things to occupy your mind ... just try.

www.relationforum.com has a lovely set of relaxation videos that are beautiful and helpful.

It can help you clear your mind.

What kind of movies do you like? Where do you like to walk? What smells do you like in the kitchen? Where are your favorite pj's and bubble bath?

please try some things and just say 'NO' to your mind over and over - however long it takes - to these thoughts that keep injecting themselves into your consciousness ... say no - replace the thoughts with good ones, how pretty the sky is, how birds sing, how the seasons change, the foliage does too - look around and notice -

all is not lost, it's just beginning

i know depression is awful, i have it too

but i will not let it ruin my life, i won't, i promised myself, because enough crappy things have already happened to me, and now I say _'no more', no more danmit!

I promise myself and that means everything. nobody ever keeps promises anymore, and lest of all, to me, so I am changing that in my life.

You can too!

Promise yourself that you will take care of you, protect you, love you, and nourish your body and soul.

Whatever it takes. You are worth it.

Love
nightbird
