sometimes depressed?

From a happy person!

People around you can be hateful, but you can choose to not let it get you down.

At least, this is what I tell my kids all the time. You can't change others; just your reaction to them!

Chin up! :D
 
sadness anyone?

i am depressed more than happy. i envy the happy people. but alot of people are hateful. this is sad. one day everything will get better. but until then we just got to stay moving. i even thought exercising was suppose to make it better. nope not me. my favorite saying is what doesn't kill you just makes you want to die. but just think that we know somethings wrong and those hateful people think there normal.

Well said!

It really is your choice.
Don't get me wrong, I get upset with hateful people. I refuse to let them change who I am.

OTH, too much processed sugar or processed food will cause me feelings of depression. It really does have an effect on my moods and hormones.

Ive noticed this too! When i eat cleaner i feel so much better, mentally and physically!
 
I agree that you cannot let hateful people dictate your feeling but if you have true clinincal depression then this probably won't help. Maybe you should speak with your doctor about these issues.

ITA! If you are just hormonal due to TTOM, then not letting hateful people get to you is good advice. However, if you are clinically depressed and have chemical imbalances in your brain, you should be evaluated to see if medication or therapy is needed.

Take care!

i work with some very very hateful ppl. i think they are jealous b/c i have a husband or something not sure. i just try so hard to laugh it off. i know its hard sometimes since i am clinically depressed(actually http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclothymia )and have panic disorder. sometimes i perceive things are bad when not and i try to keep that in mind that my disorders may change perception of the world. we are lucky that dh's job offers counseling to help with behavior therapies. maybe something like this in your area? just a support group or somebody to talk to might help.

i also try to keep a clean diet and lots of evening yoga even if its only for 10 min. just a mini vacation from the stress. i have an autistic child and a husband that has been working 2-3 jobs just to help us get into this house and keep things afloat so working at a high school with hateful kids and even just as hateful co-workers can burden lots of emotions on me especially when things are going wrong ppl like to point the fingers and whether you did anything wrong or not somebody is going to get the blame.

and with the way things are today its hard not to be worried,depressed, and overwhelmed so if you think its really getting in the way of your life i would seek somebody to talk to. i still struggle but having a support beam to turn to helps A LOT in my decision making on how i am going to handle a situation and how i am going to let myself feel.

i choose no meds personally b/c they just drain me of any feeling and i don't seem as focused on taking care of my family as i would just learning step by step how to deal with things. its hard but i am one in a million of ppl that suffer from shear unhappiness.

ETA: just wanted to throw in that i have to repeat alot in my head that its THEIR problem not mine when they want to be nasty. i try to say that i would pray for them rather then pity or show anger b/c that would only escalate the problem. i don't let them push me over but i pick and choose my battles. i have one gal she just likes to talk about ppl,whether or not we did something. that is HER problem that she is unhappy with herself that she feels the need to be negative on others, i just pray she finds herself but its no reflection on me. before i used to think i did something or i was a bad person b/c she talked bad about me,but that was just panic talking.

thats funny that you said that i am going back to work partime instead of full time becuase of petty people and the stress factor im going to try and spend less money so i can go back parttime i work with people jeaslous over every little thing too days off ect....... the lord helped give me some positve oulook on it though
 
I stay away from negative nuggets. I am basically a happy positive person, negativity makes me ill and breeds more. I surround myself with positive people and though mean and negative exists I refuse to be a part of it and when it does affect me, I think about it a minute, let it go and feel a bit sad for the person. There are always two ways to look at something I CHOOSE to look at the positive.
