Normal – This word makes me feel positively happy because I have come to realize that there are no normal people in the world. Everyone, and I mean everyone has problems. I used to believe that there was no one who could really understand how my emotions, and physical health affected my mental health. I felt alone, and like I was the odd man out. One of the most amazing things I discovered in the last year and a half – through blogging, depression treatment, and social media – is I AM NOT ALONE. That realization has been a source of comfort. I also learned that everyone is just as odd as I am!

Miracle – This word makes me feel positively happy because I believe the fact that I am still alive, and doing as well as I am – physically and mentally – is a miracle. Almost two years ago I was determined to take my own life, and tried very hard to end it. Even after my own actions did not result in my death, my thoughts stayed centered on killing myself. It took many long months for me to see my own worth, and to come to a point where I no longer wanted to die. That is a miracle, and I give thanks for it everyday.

Light-hearted – Even before my episode of Major/Severe Depression my life was pretty dark. I was a very negative person, and – truth be told – not very happy. I was not happy with myself, consequently I was not happy with anyone or anything in my life. When I began experiencing depression symptoms my already dark world became darker, more painful and closed in on me. It was a horrible existence. Coming out of that darkness has been a difficult process. Now that I am on the other side of things I feel light – light-hearted. I love the beauty I see in the world. My heart feels happy.

Knowledge – This word makes me positively happy because I realize the more knowledge I have the more power I have. I have power over my Major Depression, I have power over my diabetes, I have power over my asthma. I learn as much as I can – and keep learning – about each one of these diseases, and how to treat/manage them. I gain knowledge from other people’s experiences, and life stories. I gain knowledge from books, and the internet. I gain knowledge from my doctors. I gain knowledge by paying attention to what treatments, medications, and support systems work for me.

Journey – This word makes me positively happy, because my life has been, and will continue to be a journey. On my journey, I have gone from an angry child, to a rebellious teen. From a sad, and lonely adult, to a wonderful, woman who enjoys life, laughter, and love.

Healthy – This word makes me feel positively happy because my physical, and mental health has drastically improved. Being healthy is something I used to take for granted. When my health began to decline – including my mental health – I gave up on life. With the help of awesome doctors, an awesome medical support system, and an awesome personal support system my overall health is improving by leaps, and bounds. I no longer take being healthy for granted – I have to be an active participant in my own health care.  Being healthier has opened a world of new possibilities for me. I think that is pretty AWESOME!

Grown – This word makes me feel positively happy because I can see how much I have grown, and changed over the last few years. It is not just that I have learned how to manage my mental health better, it also has to do with the fact that I am much happier than I have been in many, many years. I look at my old self – remembering how negative, and pessimistic I used to be – and I feel so sad for that person. She was someone who did not value herself, and did not believe she had the right to happiness. I am glad I can recognize who I used to be. It makes me really appreciate how I have grown.

Fun – This word makes me feel positively happy because I have discovered that life is fun – even when things are going awry – if you can keep a positive outlook. There are those random – but amusing – moments that cause me to laugh. There is fun found in spending time with family. Having a meal with family and/or friends can be full of laughter, jokes, and fun. I have fun sitting, and staring at my fish. Having fun when times are hard helps ease my pain, and stress. Fun makes life easier.

Eager – This word makes me feel positively happy because I am eager, and excited to see – and experience – all the things that life has to offer me. I used to be so scared of what was going to “happen next”. I knew whatever it was, it would be bad. Because I was always looking for something bad to happen, it usually did. I think my negative thinking clouded my ability to accurately perceive what was really going on, and no matter what the situation was, I could only see the negative in it. At this time in my life, I am no longer peeking around corners – waiting for the next bad thing to happen. I am eagerly anticipating all the good things that are in my future.

I am determined to live a more positive life than I have in the past. I am determined to treat myself with respect, and expect other people to do the same. I am determined to make better choices, and decisions. I AM DETERMINED.
