Not feeling especially talkative (like posting ) but I do read this thread and a few others. I think one of the reasons I post less now is that when I have a negative thought about something--I acknowledge it and consider what I can do about it (for instance, I occasionally skip taking one of my meds because of the side effects but if I am a having negative thoughts, for me, it is a chemical type of depression because my meds are so effective.) Also, I am trying to speak less about the negative things in my life and focus on the good. For me, sometimes talking about bad things makes it worse for me and takes away time from the good. Not that there aren't appropriate times to speak about the bad. There is a season for everything.

I pray for many of you on this thread. (not always consistent but when I read about how so many of us struggle from depression, anxiety, and all the rest of the afflictions of our mind--it reminds me). Hoping everyone on this thread has a peaceful and wonderful week.
