'Normals' (as I like to call them) are very dismissive of depression and it's good points. Depression has it's downfalls though and outweigh the positives in many of the mentally ill in my opinion. It is because of their perspective on the "hurt emotions" they feel. Most who are depressed do not feel optimistic at all because of the depression. I myself, am BP1 also, and try to remain optimistic, but it a struggle sometimes. I force myself to think positive thoughts. Why? I was once told by a psychologist (therapist) that I was a "naturally negative person" indicating there is only "black and white" with personality types. I learned from that information and take part to try and listen to yoga, relaxation, and upbeat music only to make me more positive. Only when I take part in my own mental thought process can I change my perspective. It is hard to do sometimes but I try and succeed most of the time. This is how I cope with depression and thank you for the topic. Just sharing. Respectfully, "Bipolar Brian"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
