Positive things day 3

[toomerrymaiden]

Filled 4 bags of rubbish and took them to the tip.  It was hard but I did it and I didn't sit around for hours thinking I s hold do it before I did it, which is a definite positive as any one who's been depressed will appreciate!

Yay!! :-)

Positivity works for most things I think, eventually anyway :-)

Definitely a positive thing. Little positive steps are good I think. Although I struggle with fatigue, pain and a sick child rather than depression I've taken inspiration from you and I'm trying to tick off the good things rather than look at all the things I've been too ill to acheive, you know, like yesterday I fed us properly so I will feel proud of that not dwell on that I didn't have the energy to brush my teeth or give BK a bed bath or load the dishwasher.

The thing about taking rubbish out as well is it's a form of decluttering and somehow it is easier to be positive and think clearly in a less cluttered environment. My carer was saying that this afternoon. And you got out of the house! :)

The thing I realised was that I'd made a decision to be cheerful about the redundancy thing and I mostly stuck to it and it did help, so I thought it was worth a try in general! I hope it helps you, also :)
