Positive Thread: Im going to Save Myself

[dying_inside]

Im getting rid of unnecessary burdens.

Im going to worry less.

Im going to do and seek what makes me feel good.

Im going to ask for help - HELP (not someone to save me!).

what else? i need more ideas...

Anyone is welcomed to share how they might or might want to save themselves... good luck and love to everyone!

Great thread idea!

I would like to add some positive suggestions
-Focusing on the better times in life rather than the painful memories (easier said than done)
-Healthy distractions such as exercising, or trying to help others out
-Meditation to calm yourself when the mind gets noisy
-Practicing gratitude even for the tiniest things like good weather or good food
-Reaching out to friends
-Staying in touch with therapists, getting the right medication if that works for you
-Reading success stories of those who have overcome mental health issues and using that as inspiration

Good luck my friend I support you all the way

It's great to read this @dying_inside . @iloverachel covered all of the points I could think of, so, adding a hug. Oh and that consistent vigorous exercise helps me a lot.

I guess being alert, mindful of my self has also been a huge change for the better, because I don't hate myself as much as in the past.

Another thing that might help is doing good for others. As long as we are here, we might as well try and make this world a better place.

Thank you for sharing, @iloverachel especially... good points!!!!

i was thinking... learning to love yourself... good and bad, you are you, and you're the only person who will stay with you forever.

I think we all save ourselves eventually. Life is a journey of self discovery. No one else can really know what is going on in our deepest thoughts.

Looking back, I remember a time in my life when I actually thought I knew it all. Everything was simple to me then. A quick yes or no covered all situations and circumstances.

But as life continued and I learned more this changed into something like "the more I learn the less I know." Life is so huge and bountiful, nothing is for sure to me anymore. I have learned to live a day at a time.

The greatest lesson I learned was a discovery of self. I began to notice the complaints I held of others existed in me also. I learned to forgive and love.

Accept myself, still try to be better, but not get too down if I don’t.

Wait until tomorrow before I do anything requiring a mod edit.

Give and take help.

@Paul1963 I'm sorry this happened but glad you posted. I'm worried you're saying you don't think you can survive this.
You have a kind and giving nature. You deserve to survive and thrive.

I hope we can support you
