You control your thoughts. Do not allow your thoughts to control you. For example, when negative things come into mind, don't entertain them. They'll take you down a dark road. You must train your mind to think positive. You do that by resisting the negative thoughts. They'll quickly pull you under. Get busy doing something productive as soon as you see yourself slipping into the old pattern. But sometimes we cannot help if our hormones get out of whack, from not eating properly, etc., or starving oneself. Then we need to seek a doctor's help, but not abuse the med he gives us. Alcohol and drugs don't mix. They aren't the answer, anyway. They only treat the [i]symptoms[/i], when perhaps, something needs changing in your life, so you can be happy again, but think that through carefully. Write the pros and cons of your plan. Then think them all through, so you can make an informed decision, not just fly off the cuff. When we do things impulsively, that's when we make the most mistakes.
