Hey all,
Many of you regulars know me as that introvert, lonely, self conscious, Low self esteem persona.
Ifg you dont well, the above sentence summed me up pretty accurately...
Until a few months ago when i decided to fight this addictive personality i brought upon myself.
I use to decline invitations to braais, parties, going out for drinks or just chilling with friends.
I re-watched yes man and it got me thinking, why not, let m,e give it a shot.
I tell you since then i have done things i would never of done, met people who scared me before and made friends with complete strangers. I now say yes to mostly every invitation i get and very often make up my own get togethers.
from being diagnosed with clinical depression, bipolar, adhd and other bull crap i use to take anti depressants, sedatives, anything to make me feel good or better. I now have no need for them anymore all because i changed my entire outlook on life. It truly is amazing how much your thoughts can influence your well being.
i started talking to girls when before i use to have panic attacks and i started hooking up with them when before all it was was myself and a bottle of lube and jenna haze
sure i still indulge but i can honestly say that saying yes and taking opportunities has made all the difference, i feel like a new man.
in fact i am a new man, i have a completely different view on life now, life is amazing, its wonderful, you dont need drugs to make you feel better unless you trully are ill, but for the most, psychologists just feed you pills and keep you coming back for more when you honestly do not need them.
I know this thread is not really necessary but i just wanted to share with people who are going through what i was, just say yes, do it, suck it up, fake it till it is natural and just remember life is just a ride. There is no knowing when youll get off this ride or how youll travel this ride but you can make the most of it.
Ramble ramble ramble.... i know i am going on but it is wonderful to feel like you can start fresh and leave that old wasted life behind.
so for you guys/girls going through depression give it a shot, say yes (unless saying yes directly contradicts your morals or your own or someone elses well being)
oh and also what helps it not spending so much time on the internet, there is a real world outside, open a window, read a book or go visit friends or family.
anyways i have rambled on enough for now.
I hope that i can at least reach one person...
