Positivity

So today I thought I'd write about some thoughts I've been having on positivity.
Last year I went through some hard times with personal family problems, and I just remember everything getting on top of me and feeling like the world was out to get me.
I guess that everyone feels like that sometimes, when nothing goes right and everything is going wrong you can feel like nothing will ever get better and there is nothing which will ever help you. But you're wrong.

From We Heart It

The problem is that it is very hard to climb out of that bad place and find the place in your mind to motivate the dark feelings away. And I can tell you that for many people that is a struggle.

I'm not trying to claim that I was in a bad state, I was nowhere near what some people struggle with daily, and I salute them for carrying on no matter what life throws at them. But I was feeling the kind of mood where every piece of news I got was bad, and when you're there its kind of hard to think when anything is ever going to get better.

But no kind of negativity can be permanent.
There is always something in your future which will be better, and those thoughts are the ones which need to motivate you to bring yourself out of that bad place.

Sometimes the best thing to do is cry. I know to some people it feels weak, like your giving in to whatever is upsetting you, but I can tell you that it helped me. Its like your life is a building, and the negativity in your life is like a wrecking ball; once the wrecking ball has knocked a part of the building down sometimes its best to just knock it down and start again. Admit to what you're feeling, its nothing to be ashamed of to sometimes admit that life has got the better of you: its the recovery which proves who you are as a person.

There is always something better to look forward to. Maybe not right now, whilst that source of negativity still lingers over you, but later, far in the future, something will be good, and thats what can help.

I've never got so upset to be depressed, but having an account on the social network site 'Instagram' I have seen people get depressed and have thoughts of suicide or begin to self harm.

The key quote is:

"Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem"

Think of the brighter things which are to come.
