Have You Ever Broken Up With A Friend?
A few years ago I had a best friend. This person was someone from high school whom I had lost track after graduating. While in college she found me again and we reconnected. We started hanging out frequently and started to develop a deeper friendship. This friendship would not have existed if it was not for her perseverance. You see, after high school I had turned into a very introverted and lonely individual. I did not want to make new friends and didn’t really take care of the old ones I had from high school. This friend, however, was persistent. She pushed me to do things with her. Soon my weekends were occupied with outings she had planned. We were friends for a few years and we even considered becoming roommates at one point. As time passed on I noticed that my friend was a goal setter. She had plans for her life and she wanted to be more social. She would invite me to some of her social gatherings but I just couldn’t see myself there. Soon she got a boyfriend and started to be a bit busier with her life. Still, she would always keep communicating with me as a good friend does. One particular night we decided to go see a play. The night was fun and we enjoyed our show. On the drive back from the play my friend talked about how many plans she had for the following year, it was December at that point. For some reason once she dropped me off at my house I decided that day would be the last day I would ever see her again.

When Depression Comes Back
About a year ago I posted some tips on how I was able to keep depression at bay with showers, meditation and affirmations. I wanted to share this information with everyone because I know how debilitating depression can be. For about a year I was able to live depression free. My mood had ups and downs but nothing like what I experienced before. However two months ago that all changed. I work in the education field and have a pretty set routine from Monday to Friday. I go to sleep early, wake up early, work for 8 hours, go home and follow a detailed written schedule everyday except for the weekends.

How Showers Helped My Depression
Showering! It should be a normal every day or every other day activity, right? Not for some of us. Some of us fight the showers. Some of us can go days and even weeks not showering-on purpose. It sounds strange and a bit childish but some of us can’t help this. For one reason or another some of us will forbid showering to ourselves. We fully believe that showering now is not an option. I’m sure many of us have either felt this way or known someone that has gone through this questionable act.

How Affirmations Help Me
Have you ever heard of negative self-talk? This is when a person will talk to themselves in their mind but instead of building themselves up, they will tear themselves down. As you can imagine this makes the person suffer from self-doubt and worry pretty much 24/7. This is me in a nutshell. I think I was in elementary school when my mind started this negative self-talk. Now I am grown, and my mind is still very susceptible to negative thoughts. In fact, they are constant. Of course, I can now see how much my negative thoughts have affected my life in every way. There are so many things that I have forbid myself to even attempt because I am convinced that I will be fail. It is like the negative thoughts have put a leash around my neck.
