Climbing out of depression started by learning to listen to my thoughts. Simply starting to be aware.
You may have this down. But back then I didn’t even realize there was a “voice” in my head. I just had a daily onslaught of negativity in my head and took it as facts, just who I was, all true.
I thought I was a bad mom, so I was.
I didn’t think I was doing enough or that what I did was good enough, so I believe that.
I thought my husband was doing things wrong, so I was frustrated.
I thought I wasn’t supposed to argue and yell at him, so I felt stuck.
I thought my family would be better without me, so why question that?
I started writing down all the thoughts throughout the day, just to become aware. I didn’t know they were so ugly and so frequent. I also didn’t know they were just thoughts.
I just thought it was true.
But, thoughts really are optional.
I get it. Let me help you find a new thought.
