Excellent comment!

You almost reach the threshold for motivational writing there dude.

I think it is also important to remember that we will probably fall again. When we do, the answer hasn't changed. In alot of ways this disease is like alcoholism. When alcohol controls your life the answer is always to not drink. Even if you just got drunk, not drinking is what you have to do first.

Similarly, when you fall into the haze of depression the answer is always to get moving. Even if you haven't cleaned your house in a month and you have been sitting in the dark for a week, put one foot in front of the other.

Thanks again for the solid comment.

Keep Steeming, and keep fighting.

Thanks, you too!

I will probably always have the tendency to overthink everything, risking to get cought in those downward circles in my mind.
I only recently realized that this is a talent, which can be just as well be used for the good. (I’m struggling a bit with language barriers here - lol)
I mean, I have the power to ‘brainwash’myself until everything’s negative and nothing matters.
(Not-so-)Simply turn that upside down and use it for positive things... the power is there, it’s about how you use it (for now, that’s only the theoretical part. I still need some exercise and time to be able to put it into practice)

I also learned that it helps to be more open. Like you did in your post. You could have kept your thoughts inside, making the situation worse in your head, but then you wouldn’t have known about how @hitmeasap and @insideoutlet are not judging you as you were yourself.
And it’s one thing to be open to people, but to be this open in public... that’s courage, man :0)
