How Do You Stop, Your Mind From Just Cutting You Down?
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

how do you stop, your mind from just cutting you down? I have had depression, all my life, but didn't realize anything was wrong, until I was about 20 years old. I basically knew something was wrong with me, I was diagnosed with ADD, when I was young, probably around ten. I was always a dreamer, a lover, a pessimist? call it what you will. my parents had depression, my whole family had depression, in one form or another. my inability to make decisions, that don't haunt me, or do any good for me… read more

You know people tell you that life is what you make it. Not true for some of us. There has never been a time in my life that things just went okay, but given that I do believe life is worth living. The way I look at it is everyday I have a chance to make it better for me. I do not need to live in the past the past is my problem. I need to leave it there and move on. I have found true love at 52 years old. It is amazing feeling and I am not saying everything is peachy because it is not. I have never known a day that something did not happen but what makes a differences for me is that I believe that I have a chance to make a difference in my life every new day. So if you give up then you never know that is what I believe to be true.

You know what, you sound just like me. I can’t turn my head off either. It runs constantly with all kinds of noise. I know exactly what you’re going through and I empathize with you

I’ve considered taking Yoga because it’s such a relaxing exercise. It’s supposed to relax your mind too and calm you down. Maybe we should try it. I’m ready to try just about anything if it will slow these thoughts down.

Keep in touch with me and let me know how your doing. If I do try Yoga and it helps I will let you know. Hang in there. Message me any time.

I have not figured that out yet. I am my own worst enemy. No one can tear me apart or break me down better than I can do myself. So many years of negative abuse, it is just ingrained in my head. I hate it

Excersise. Start slow and do what you can. Eat healthy. Get a hobby. Anything to distract yourself as long as at the end of the day you respect yourself. And if you don't. God can turn it for good. But you have to trust him fully and compleetley. But don't be afraid to put your two cents in to start.
