WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU FINALLY FEEL HAPPY & ALMOST EVERYTHING IN LIFE IS GOING WELL

[RandR]

Hi fellow forum members,

I hope you all well. It's been some time since my last post due to some bad news regarding my mum however life must continue and go on. And she would say the same.

Since overcoming depression (which I had for 12 years) I finally for the first time feel like almost everything in life is on track. I feel happy, not worried, not depressed and not questioning. Yes, all the opposites to when I suffered major depression. Due to this I thought I would shed some of my feelings and thoughts around 'what to do when you finally feel happy & almost everything in life is going well';

* Don't worry and overthink - simply smile and remind yourself that you are deserving of this feeling
* Rather than questioning all the good in your life, embrace it.
* Ride the wave - stay on your feet even when you start to feel shakey
* Reach out - Be the strength to other's who might be in need
* Forget all the 'what if's that pop up in your head'! If things are going well it's for a reason
* Write down in a journal changes you've made or some things you do on a weekly basis and SHARE with other's on gthe Beyond Blue forum
* Lastly - remind yourself how strong you really, really are and that tough times don't last but tough people do

Many thanks and I hope this may be of some help and that hopefully some of you may be able to relate to this feeling.

Raman.

Hi RandR,

While I can't say that I've overcome my various struggles, I really like how you've created a message of hope that things can get better 🙂

Plus I'm sure people who are in a similar recovery/recovered stage as you will benefit from your words. I won't pry about your mum but I imagine it was hard hitting and difficult news to digest. My thoughts are with you and your family...

Thanks again for your message of hope.

Kind thoughts,

Pepper

Take care,

Pepper

Hi R and R....don't believe we have met before. I just wanted to say I love your post....love it, and can relate!

Happy Full Moon............

Hi Moonstruck and no I don't believe we have.

Thanks for the kind words. I hope all is going well for you.

How long have you been on the BB forums for? Be great to get to know your story a little more if your comfortable to share?

Regards,

Raman.

Yes I am happy to share R and R. been here since about November 2015 I believe...oh God, that long???

Aren't I all better yet? (LOL) lately my thread in Anxiety is called "I don't know where to post any more" or something.....and the one before was "Over thinking and paranoid thoughts"....if you can bear to sift through any of my dramas and black moments.....I wouldn't if I were you....I can be so boring!

I tend to pop up here and there...in the BB Social Scene, Staying Well, etc.......hoping we meet again. (I don't know much about you either Raman).......the Full Moon has a special meaning for me...hence my name....wishing you a pleasant and peaceful evening.
