Sometimes when you're feeling good, you need to take all those happys and run with them.

Changing my thinking isn't going to cure my #depression. You can whistle a happy tune while you're lost in the woods, but you still have to find your way home.

When living with a #mentalillness, you need to give yourself credit for the little things. Today, I made it through a full day of work after struggling with #anxiety, brain fog, helpless thoughts, and a heavy heart. I was strong today.

Here's a new distortion I experienced: Feeling like I'm walking on lumpy ground when it's actually flat. My brain is weird.

Living with a #mentalillness: When you're going on vacation and spend more time worrying about having a #depressive episode during the trip than looking forward to the fun parts.
