LJ Idol Season 11: Living rent free in your head

[miintikwa]

I am so depressed I cannot think straight. I cannot put words together. I feel invisible. A text comes in, from my BFF. He has noticed I haven't been communicative, and just wanted to check-in. I feel seen. We talk for hours, and by the time we hang up, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel

create an army in my head of people who love me.
What an amazing idea, and such a powerful way to fight the negative voices that keep wanting to come back.

when that happens, I can reach out to the real people behind the voices.
Such a solid, well-rounded approach.

I'm glad you're doing so well in this fight, and have such terrific skills to rely on.

Thank you! It's all due to a couple of wonderful therapists and a very awesome pshrink. :)

I hope the good voices overwhelm the bad ones. It must be so hard at times, but having your family and friends is wonderful.

It is an eternal struggle, but I am very grateful for the resources I have.

I think this is the first positive spin I have seen on this topic, even though it originated from a bad place, but it rings with triumph, and I am loving every moment of it, and so happy for you! <3
