Awesome post, Magie she’s absolutely right, you know

The first time someone told me that depression is not an overnight fix I was distraught. I thought, here I am, taking the tablets, doing all the talking and I'm still not getting any better. BUT I was. It's baby steps unfortunately but they are all steps in the right direction. Depression doesn't come on overnight, except in exceptional cases, and as a result can't be cured overnight either. I know for me, I spent years telling myself I wasn't good enough, I wasn't pretty enough, I wasn't smart enough,etc. My list was a long one, and each of those negative thoughts had to be changed little by little, day by day.
That's why I think it's very important to write down every single day, 3 good things about yourself. Yes, you might row the Atlantic in a week, but in the exact same way, you might have got up today, had a wash and been as nice to yourself as you would be to a friend.

That is a truly amazing post.

It really is. I am thinking about maybe journaling and doing more like that. But I never seem to find a good starting point. That would be a good place to add the 3 things a day.

[Suzi]

It really would be. You could cut out some of the things that we have said about you and and stick those in too?

[Mira]

That would be a good idea yes. If only I would start with the journal........

[Paula]

It’s best to start with what you can face doing and not being too ambitious. Just doing the 3 things daily is a great place to start

Btw, just wanted to say that your English is getting better and better

[Mira]

Yes that would be a good idea.

Is it getting better? I remember people telling me here that its almost as good as native writers. But I notice all the flaws and spelling mistakes I make. So I tend to think its still not up to par.

[Paula]

It was almost as good. It’s now as good and better than many I’ve come across

[Suzi]

I agree! Your posts are fluent and full of character! I love seeing you've posted!
