Things have become a little dark on PC. I don't mean to minimize anybody's pain, but a lot us are spending too much time dwelling on negative thoughts. So, I thought perhaps we could start posting some happier thoughts and experiences. Feel free to post anything, as long as it's positive.
 I'll start by saying that I watched a video on Youtube that explained the four main principles of Taoism. They are gentleness, natural sincerity, supportiveness, and reverence for life. I found myself really feeling the power and peacefulness of these qualities and have already tried to incorporate them in my life. My wife and I are dealing with an extremely complicated and stressful family situation and these ideas are helpful. They make me feel good, and I am going to learn more about them. That's it for now. I hope many of you feel the way I do and participate. |

Good idea!!
Sometimes we have to just be proud of our own accomplishments. I recently accepted a new job and I start next week. Not everyone was excited because it's part time but i don't care I know how hard Ive worked to get here and no ones gonna make me feel inferior!

I've been struggling with dystonia for a few months now, but the last few days I've felt fine! It's going away! Great idea for a thread!

I have lost 25#!
I have recently been fairly stable and my "parking spot" is on the up side of moods. It's been almost 2 months since I have had any episodes other than slight euphoric hypomania.

I got really good results from my new med combo. It knocked out my anxiety, depression and SI. Looks like I finally got my miracle.

I have decided to simplify my life. For starters, I just put my small sailboat and skiff on Craigslist. I don't use them anyway and I'm tired of the complications they bring. I'll stick to fly fishing as my outlet from now on. It's a simple sport. All you need is waders, a fly rod, and some woolly buggers. Sometimes its nice to use a kayak, but that is about as complicated as it gets. Last Friday I went to a local pond and caught seven or eight beautiful rainbow trout. What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon.

Thanks for this. I love reading the positivity! I had a friend tell me the other day that ylang ylang is good for helping depression and anxiety etc. That is my favorite essential oil I own so I started using it and now my life smells like a fairy tale all of the time(even if I didnt shower for like 4 days lol)
