Oh mental illness. We all know someone who's told us they have something. Dyslexia? Schizophrenia? ADHD? Bipolar? The list is pretty endless.
Liquid PerspectivePublished 7 years ago in PsycheThe Best Apology Is Changed Behaviour
When we make a mistake in life, we tend to harbour that guilt and shame as self-loathing and constant fear of making the same mistakes again. It’s the old saying, "Forgive yourself first," that we hear over and over again when seeking for advice on how to move on after once again self-sabotaging our own happiness. We obsessively read positive quotes, wallow in our misery, and then find something to distract ourselves until we move on to make the same mistakes and end up in the same situation years, or even months, later. Sound familiar? This is the negative repetition that was my routine throughout my life until recently. How did I finally stop distracting myself from the pain and end the negativity that had resulted in copious amounts of failed relationships, and years of low self-esteem? The answer may sound cliché, and we’ve all heard it before, but learning to love yourself is your only option to get yourself out of the never-ending cycle of self-sabotage.

Mental illness. The word itself makes you cringe inward, or creates a character wearing a helmet and having trouble speaking form in your mind's eye, doesn't it? Maybe that's just me, I apologize if it's wrong. That's not the point though.

Our brains can be assholes. When you're suffering from depression or a related illness, your brain is basically stuck in asshole-mode. It defaults to telling you all sorts of lies about how you can't do anything, how you're a failure, this, that, the other thing.

Benefits? A common thread that I've noticed while working with different methodologies is that meditation gives me a deeper understanding of my mind and body. While meditating, if only for a moment, I am forced to let everything else go and focus on something else, whether it be my breathing, any bodily tension or tightness, or simply to detach and let the world go on around you.

Here are the signs that you are depressed. You have no interest in most things that people enjoy. You have little energy for activities, work or hobbies. You have no or little interest in sex. You feel lethargic. You find it hard to fall asleep or you sleep too much. You have no appetite or you eat too much. You cry a lot. You feel numb and have no feelings for those you care about. You find it hard to concentrate. You have little or no confidence in yourself. You feel alone and feel that nobody understands how you feel.

Think Good Thoughts
I remember thinking that I was a pretty positive person and that circumstances just got in the way of the real progress I wanted in my life. Growing up I kept a diary of things that I was dealing with and the questions I had regarding the way things would go. Life would present challenges and I kept my chin up and made sure that I spoke optimistically.
