I know I have thought that a lot in the past because the only times I could remember were times I was angry. If it helps, I don't think you're a negative person in any sense of the word.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10116355910208581189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13296482.post-1137686624745685992006-01-19T11:03:00.000-05:002006-01-19T11:03:00.000-05:00First thing's first: Jake is an angry person? Why...First thing's first: Jake is an angry person? Why did Justin say that? It scares me because I pick on Jake. Will he murder me in a fit of repressed rage one day?<BR/><BR/>On negativity: I'm fully negative. Optimisim is spanky.<BR/><BR/>But I do think that were I to focus on the good things, I'd be wildly happier. Only I can't figure out how to do that. And when I am happy it feels like hypomania, you know?<BR/><BR/>Is hypomania an actual thing? Or did I make it up?<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I don't have any advice.<BR/><BR/>Excpet do the grateful journal. I've stopped doing mine actually...but for a while it was making me feel better. I'd stop in the middle of the day and go "That's totally going in the journal." And that's kind of like forced optimism, right? Cuz I was keeping a running tally on the things that made me happy. Rote memorization kind of. Then at the end of the day, I had to recall all the good things. And just to make the journal more interesting and fuller, I'd take the mundane things and put a spin on em so that they were more important than perhaps I would have had I not been keeping tabs on em.<BR/><BR/>Does that make sense?<BR/><BR/>Do the journal.<BR/><BR/>It's Oprah approved. And Martha says it's a good thing.L.

I think I dwell too much on the negative and that makes me feel even more negative and depressed. Which is a new thing for me since normally I wouldn't consider myself a negative person (unless we're talking blood types, b/c I am O-neg...speaking of which, I was told by my co-teacher not to get a blood transfusion here b/c O-neg blood is pretty rare. Thanks, I'll keep that in mind). I guess SoKo just brings out the neg in me.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05352673735022200192noreply@blogger.com
