Indeed it is.

I find happiness in the small things in life such as:

a nice cup of tea
breakfast
a good movie
a good book

also, lots of atmosphere & ambience brings joy to life....

All in all there can be hope in difficult times. Use what is best for you & listen to the clear signs of hope. For feeling so down is not something one wants to feel.....and being so alive is something one should cherish for a lifetime. Listen to your inner self & wisdom so life becomes more...

High school for me was pretty hard, although I did do good and managed to get into college. There were things going on in my mind during college that were very bad, I was up at night & asleep during the day. I didn't last very long the first semester & found myself back home & back in sc...

Be nice if all people could live from a pure-hearted state, but I can't conceive of that being possible. A lot of people have had the purity in their hearts ripped out and stomped on. Can't even raise my own hand and say that I could do it either. Bit depressing. From living in a health facility fo...

Also, I've been reading scripture from The Bible. The Bible seems to grab my attention the most.

I know about [ ] that much of my family history details. My diet is wonderful. I eat plenty -- more than enough -- fresh vegetables.

If one feels like starting something evil...well.... I live in a health unit & talk to staff when things begin to get dark inside my little world..... So..... If one continues to have such negative attitude & gets sick from it.....from what staff says is well....to stay healthy & live in...

There have been cases, however, where my sensitive information/feelings have been used against me. It's a harsh world. Not so sure I want to be in it any longer. :? The world isn't that bad. If you feel as if you are being attacked at an emotional level.....remember: you are yourself & this is ...

**Trigger Warning** The type of N.P. that I have has attempted to understand my P.O.V and the way that this trigger has affected my P.T.S.D, and for that, I find her commendable. Other doctors were not so accommodating. This N.P. that I currently see has told me that I word myself well; that I expl...

I went last month......I've been feeling like this for 3 years, but I have been to scared to get help bc I don't know what's wrong with me. I haven't been completely honest with anyone about it, bc I don't know why I feel like this. I've been burying these feelings for awhile now. When I went to th...

KS81072 & Dayfly, This is so profound, It encapsulates what I often try to say: I know that sounds cliche, but it seems to have helped, however little, for me.....I'll say it again. You are not alone In another post I compared each individual's post to a ship's course. I view an initial introdu...

[quote="100footpole"]toalewa, I only worry that she might not be able to resist adopting a dog, but I can see that if if the 8 to 16 years of happiness outweigh my feeling of anxiety it would be a good thing. Having a pet is a great thing indeed for those that suffer from depression. I had...
