Which way to go

Mental Health Depression & Mood Disorders

Essentially you're the one who creates your feelings. External events may strongly influence your thought process. But still.

You have probably heard of laughing in the face of danger. Or "It all depends on how you look at it".

Well it really does depend on how you look at it. No matter what it is. Yes some things can be very traumatic and past experiences will have an effect on your sensitivity to certain situations or issues.

We all hear people say it's so hard or it hurts so much. I'm no stranger to pain or struggling. As time goes on and you hear more of my story you'll see. But just as you choose what you like or dislike, believe or don't believe. It's not a choice of if or how your going to let something effect you. But if or how you're going to effect your own emotions in response to what happened.

Think about this? If you don't really care about some one or some thing. Then your not going to be upset if bad things happen to it or them... Who decided weather you care about that or not?

There is always an inverse option.

Hi April,
I got a notice via e-mail that you had left a comment. That's kinda cool. It's been a while since I've spent any time in an online group so I forgot about that.

Thank you for your kind words. It's also been quite a while since anyone has expressed much interest in anything I had to say.

I already do, but I'll be sure to continue to follow your posts as well.

Have a great day ;-)

i think if u are human u care to a certain extent about things even if they dont touch u immediately but from a distance,

its all about balance in the hearing of things that have happened, we can grieve for those who lost life/belonging in the most terrible way imaginable but not have it impact on our day to day lives so i guess what u say is right

strange

as always

loving thoughts and positive vibes

I’ve been doin it so long half the time I do things that I know will work but can’t even tell ya why. Or how.

I’d love to teach any one who’s interested about computer stuff but it’s awfully hard to do that online. Lots and lots of writing…

thanks for the good word.
I’m just bein me and doin what I do.

Love ya

You decide whether something bothers you or not. But strangely enough, certainly people have a greater effect than others. I try not to care what others think, but I certainly do. I don't allow it to define who I am, but it gets me thinking for sure...

its almost like the nag of toothache its bareable but u keep feeling that twinge, its not so much i care its the odd thoughts that keep popping up in my head, i run different senarios just cos of what was said, i find myself wondering if i could have stopped the conversation before that point handled it differently and although they have no outward effect on life they cause internal scanning grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
