Am feeling heaps better within myself. Am definitely doing alot more things and am feeling like I am living life.
The Biggest thing I have noticed is how much I didnt regard myself with Love... beating myself up - so just noticing that pattern and thinking okay.. I do love myself.. my thoughts are just thoughts they are not 'me'.
Basically, I am reminding myself to be gentle and loving and caring with myself.. that I am worthy ( as we all are - yet may not 'feel it'..within ourselves.

I have been single for a good while.. and realised the other day these things ..

1. that its really important to take good care of me and really nuture myself.
2. not worry about the future..I am capable of having an intimate relationship, and it will come along when its time.
3. I do not have to chase love.. or try to make people like/love me. I am good enough right now, just as I am.

So, alot of big stuff and little stuff.. things I already really knew, yet needed to remember again.

Hey Blue,

I am very impressed with your achievements, you are certainly sounding much stronger.

yes, i understand beating yourself up is a "normal" thing when suffering depression, and it is a hard thing to master to change these thoughts, but you sound like you are well on your way.

Well done, i'm proud of you.

Take care,

Luv Nouse

Hi,

It's great to hear you challenging yourself with positive statements I might have to steal a couple form you. Yes being single can be lonely and I am especially feeling it recently but you are right we are fine the way we are.

Being needy will get us no where and when it's right the time will come. I guess this gives us the chance to sort ourselves out and love ourselves more.

Great work keep up the positive attitude
