I guess you could say I'm sad, but true, a dweller on things. I do like the fake it til you make it thing. I'm glad your not intensely brooding like I do. It gets old after a while. Then you just say, "No more!!" Well, I hope all is better now. I'm glad I read your journal. I missed hearing about you even good happy joy things, I love hearing about esp that kitty badge. haha
Yeah, intense brooding really gets me nowhere. I used to sort of do that.
But a bit of introspection is helpful. I'm still feeling a bit down but things are getting clearer for me. And while I may have condemned myself for drinking heavily, it may actually have been a good thing because it's made me realize stuff I need to change. (Now I'm not saying getting drunk and depressed on a regular basis is good, but since I so rarely do it, it did help open my eyes to stuff I had been avoiding. I don't plan on another drinking binge for a long long long long time.)
But like I said, I've got a clearer realization of stuff I need to change. Even more important, I see that there are things about myself that are good and I need to encourage and honor those things. It's pretty good being able to see the postitive along with the things that need changing.
I still got a lot more to work out (and I imagine I will until I die.) Thanks for commenting, especially when I was going through something of a dark phase there. It means a lot.
