I am distracting myself from my feelings?

There are just some things that I worry about or have anxiety over, sometimes I feel a little empty. I miss

the good days i've had, lately I haven't been getting any. I've been distracting myself so i don't think

about the things that make me sad, but it doesn't work because i'm always gonna be somewhat

bothered.

"What if" thoughts, aren't they? I have them a lot, too, and I know how those thoughts can suck the energy out of you so you feel drained, emotional, feared, depressed.. The key thing that helps for me though is to just live in the 'now', not hold on to guilt feelings of the past or the "what if" thoughts about the future. Even if the now doesn't always give you what you want: Experiences are what they are, but how we think about them define how we feel in the 'now'. I always tell myself "well ive been going through a lot of shit in my life but there was always SOME sort of lesson coming out of it, so i'll just take a look at the bright side and tell myself "this too shall pass" and "one day something good will come out of it" " (which is the opposite thought of "what if things go wrong? ohmygaaawd nooooooo" ;) )
