You’re not going to feel better by just sitting around and focusing your thoughts and energy on how depressed and hopeless you feel

It’s 5:03 AM Tuesday October 7th 2008. I am in a confused, worried state of mind. I’ve been awake for an hour now. The hubby has gone off to work.

What am I confused and worried about?

I’m worried about money and confused about how to solve my financial problems.

I woke up this morning with the following thought in my head:

“Wellness is not going to come seeking you. You have to go out and seek it.”

I wasn’t feeling good when I woke up this morning. My chest was congested with feelings of dejection and hopelessness. It’s unfortunate to wake up feeling depressed; but I guess the important thing is to get up and do something about it. You have to get up and actively seek to find ways to make yourself feel better. You’re not going to feel better by just sitting around and focusing your thoughts and energy on how depressed and hopeless you feel.

So I am going to make every effort to actively focus on fighting my depression, panic, fears, confusion, worries and everything threatening my mental health today.
