These are the words I live by. When I would get stressed out and worried when I was a kid my mom would always say "This too shall pass" She's right and you're right. My kids are my focal point and what brings me back to reality. Because of them, I know I will not act irrationally and I will not let my thoughts take over.
The other thing I remind people is not to beat yourself up over having these feelings. It's normal. That was the hardest thing to accept. We get so caught up in the feelings and have been programed that this way of thinking is bad that we make our depression worse. Accept the thought then do exactly what you said, change your thoughts. I am good enough. I deserve to have the life I want. I am a good person. This will pass.
Kind of funny, I just posted on having a bad day when you deal with depression. Today is one of those days for me. Again it's normal. It is how we choose to deal with it. Today writing out my post helped me immensely. I have found sharing my struggle/journey has been helping a lot.
Thank you again @caribbeanmon . You do have a way with putting things into prospective (at least for me)
