how to leave and come out of your negative lifestyle and thoughts ?

@LadyGrace: would you like to share your knowledge about that?

@notaregularguy: Well, I just know from experience that when I was going through some really tough times, that people don't want to hang around depressed people. They have no empathy. I wasn't looking for sympathy, but some encouragement. Anyway, I had to get away from the abuse. Each day was about survival to me. A healthy mind doesn't want to stay down, but sometimes one cannot help it, but we can still try. It's not easy by any means, but training your mind in the way it should go, is definitely rewarding. It takes conscious effort to put a stop to negative thinking. Training your mind to stop thinking negatively the minute you notice it is trying to go there. However, I found that a deficiency of certain vitamins, will keep one depressed. What brought me out of a very deep grieving process, was [b]sublingual[/b] B-12. It really saved me. No prescription, either. Also, Ester Vitamin C and B-Complex, and MSM. Now, I manage very well. I refuse to live my life chained to depression and negativity. Life is too short for that. I also use prayer, which feeds the spirit joy, happiness, and peace. The Bible says that he who keeps his mind focused on Jesus, shall live in perfect peace. That is true.

.I guess I should also check for some nutrition deficiency. And will have to be concious too. Thanks.

@notaregularguy: Yes, it is a well known fact that if one lacks the B Vitamins, they'll be depressed. I got the sublingual ones from Walmart in cherry flavor...delicious! And can be taken through the day as well. I'd take three or four and pop them under my tongue, and boy, what relief! I had friends try them, too, and it really brought them out of depression, too. MSM is important. But take only in the morning. I get mine from Swanson Vitamins online, as they are cheaper, but are high quality. I wish you the best in your journey.
