“The therapist informed me that I was like an anorexic in that an anorexic doesn’t recognize hunger and has to be told when to eat. I didn’t recognize disrespect and had to be clued in to when it was going on in a form too subtle for me to recognize or too bold for me to believe it was what it was” (1)
I suffered from depression most of my life.
Then - after experiencing one molestation and two sexual assaults in my youth, I went on to enter into three consecutive abusive relationships as an adult.
After that…
I had a nervous breakdown.
With ten years of going thru therapy, being medicated, counseling with elders, and reading hundreds of self-help books, I started on a journey to beat my depression and anxiety without medication.
I finally ran into some obscure and ancient information that greatly accelerated my healing.
I wrote an ebook about what I learned entitled You Will Be OK, I Promise; A Uniquely Helpful Guidebook..available on Amazon.
Here are just a few of the secrets I learned:
• GIVE LOVE TO YOURSELF first.
• GUARD YOUR MIND and home from negativity.
• GIVE gentle, positive and LOVING ATTENTION TO YOURSELF and to your environment, anything you want to thrive.
• STAY PASSIONATE, GRATEFUL, AND EXCITED about life.
• GAIN A CLEAR PICTURE in your mind of what you want to do, have, or be (VISUALIZE).
• ACCEPT THE LOVE that comes your way FROM ALL sources: people, animals, plants, environment, etc.
• HOLD NO GRUDGES.
• BECOME COMFORTABLE WITH CHANGE and the unexpected
• INDULGE YOUR CREATIVE SIDE.
Try these things to stop surviving and start thriving. You'll thank yourself!
