I've spent the majority of my life fighting depression and the biggest weapon I have against it is positivity.
Turning lemons into lemonade by adding a little sugar, kindness and love. Sadly, some of the most negative people in my life are family members. My mother. My sister. Even one of my sons. While I can't omit them completely out of my life, I do take measures to limit my time with them because I can feel them pulling me down.
I'd actually written a blog about it if you're interested.
