LordSenate's advice for anyone that wants to listen. 24

You ARE different from other people, thats not necessarily a bad thing by any means, but in general everyone is different in some way.
All i have to say really for advice is that thinking positive helps A LOT with depression and anxiety, you can say no it doesn't, you can even say its not that easy. Its not that easy, and trust me I know. But it really does help. When you start thinking negative, try and look for something positive in it, if it's possible. As long as its not extremely horrible, you have to be able to make up some reason to think good, or make it not seem so bad. Down playing it would seem a better term, as long as it fits the situation. If you start thinking negatively, fight yourself.
If talking to people helps i would suggest finding a good therapist, one that isn't biased against you, or a kook. You should be able to tell pretty quickly if they are helping, or even want to help. Not all can, or are able to help. But you will find one that are definitely helpful, and know what they are doing.
Medicines also are a good thing sometimes, though being careful, and doing your own research is a MUST! Because not all doctors care what they put their patients on. I'm sure you know this.
As for the social aspects of things, i suggest finding friends that you are comfortable around. If you need to feel confident about yourself, there are ways of learning about yourself, and coming to terms with who you are, as well. Of course a lot of things sound a lot easier than they are. But its not something you should feel is impossible by any means, because its not.
I for one, am proud of every part of me and who I am, despite what anyone thinks about me. That alone helps me get through the day, regardless of what I THINK people are thinking about me. Because I could not care less. Not that, that holds true for you, but just giving you an idea of a different perspective.
Life can be awesome, and i don't want you to miss any bit of it. I used to be completely jacked up, far worse than you can imagine, especially when i came back from Iraq. But i worked through it. So I know you can to.
I used to worry about every little thing, which kept me from sleeping. Only has a combination of medicine, therapy, and talking to people helped. Now I'm doing a lot better, but things don't always start out that way.
The people you hang around are important. If you surround yourself with people who insist on doing negative things, negative things are more likely to happen to you. If they are any kind of good person your insecurities shouldn't matter anyways. In the sense that they shouldn't hold that against you. If anything they should want to be helpful, that also being a good and bad thing. Depending on the person of course. Keep that in mind. Please understand that not everyone is good, and in the same hand not everyone is bad. This is just the way things are, there is a fine line between them, finding that would be a good thing to do.

Decent post only I totally disagree with the "people don't talk to themselves" bit. One of my best friends is a child psychologist and graduated Summa Cum Laude and she flat out told me that it's actually really common.

I enjoyed that read senate. I agree with greenarrow though in that talking to yourself isn't very odd/negative, one of the most common things ill ask a person working in mental health what their opinions are of someone talking to themselves. I generally get the same response
That being said I agree with your post. Good stuff

EIther I wrote something wrong or you read something wrong. I wasn't trying to say people don't talk to themselves. I meant in their mind.. Like if you sit their and dwell by yourself in your head. If you don't get feedback from other people. Anything else, I wasn't referring to. I'll have to re read it again, because that's what I meant at all. I briefly skimmed over this post before copy and pasting it into a thread.. it took me about 20 seconds. I just skimmed it so if you see any errors please point them out and if anyone has any other questions I can eleborate on other thigns as well..

Thanks man, this was a copy and paste of a post that I made to someone 5+ years ago and forgot to edit that part out. I was tired last night so completely misunderstood what you were saying when you were reading my original post. I appreciate it!

I always assumed we all do it...
But people look at me weird in public if I do it, as if they don't?

I do it too, not often but yeah.. I think most people do. It just depends on when you do it. 4 years ago when I wrote the post, that I edited to make this thread, I was young and naive. lol

Very good advice. It is important to know, that you choose what you think. You choose it subconsciously first, then consciously. Your will is more basic than your mind and thoughts. You are the culmination of your choices, but your present time choice can over ride any and all past negative choices. We are choosing machines. That is our hope.

Thanks for the post, LS.
I've dealt with depression since I was a child. It's an unending battle for me but controlling your thoughts is the first step to getting ahead in the fight. I'm doing not-so-bad these days and it's because of my attitude more than anything. No anti-depressants or anti-anxiety drugs for me!
Diet, exercise, and general activity are all very helpful in improving attitude as well. Best wishes for anyone that struggles with the blues. It can get better and you're the one who can make it better.

like cookie said stay away from the pharmies depression is in my family ive seen both my parents rely on theses pills everyday and ive seen them go right back to where they started once they try to lean off of them. Not that they cant work for some people but i would personally stay away from the pills and find a close friend/family member to talk to.

Very good post, but I personally believe that diet has a lot to do with our health. After all, we are what we eat. We can't be made of anything else. How could we be? If we eat nothing but junk food, we can't be made from health food. Right?

I agree that diet is extremely important. I'll have to review my initial post and see if I insinuated that it wasn't. It was a edited portion of a response to someone from about 9 years ago and I need to build on it but haven't had the time. Even then though I was in the military so I knew diet was important. Being outgoing and positive in the face of lots of negativity requires a lot of energy, in which case your diet is key.
