RE: How do we stop ourselves from feeling bad? - AMA about Psychology

Ivan I love the article! I agree that often times we associate with material or emotional things that we need to have.

This is further perpetuated by society that you need to be educated, rich and with a family otherwise, you are a failure.

I battled with depression for a good part of last year and journaling was one of the reasons why I joined Steemit. It was a way for me to purge the demons in my head.

I have to say that amidst the bad poety and stories that I wrote somebody responded and made me feel better.

So that is the main reason that I am thankful for Steemit and involved in communiy building. If I can save one life as it saved me before then I would count myself as a very lucky man.

Thank you for this.

Thank you for sharing your experience @maverickinvictus.
I agree: our Society wants us to be successful...by its way, not ours.
Sometimes it's difficult to get an alternative vision of the world, but when it happens, well it worths the fatigue.
