Let's Talk About Something

Dear Readers,

Does anyone else have a strange day where they don’t quite know how they feel or what they should be feeling? I get this a lot. I don’t know if it’s normal or not. Some days I just feel strange and my emotions and feelings will be up and down just like a roller coaster. I always try to stay positive because it’s important for me to think more positively about my life. So much so that I have started a negativity journal where if I’m feeling depressed or negative I document it in a journal and as soon as I write things down its just like talking to one of my friends about my problems. The reason I have stopped talking to my friends about my problems is that at a point when I was going through a hard time with my depression I used to talk to my friends about it and then after a while they would stop inviting me to hang out with them because I was too negative and bringing everybody down.

This blog post isn’t making much sense, is it? Let’s get to the real point of it shall we? This blog post is for people that suffer with anxiety and depression, I know that when you read coping strategies online they sound like a load of crap but this one works for me and I feel like more people should try it. So, we’ve already established that I have a negativity journal that is a dull colour and full of all my negative thoughts. But I also have a positivity journal that is colourful and I try to write something positive in it every day, positive thinking is an important part of life, I still struggle with it now but having my two journals and this blog has helped me express my feelings. Keeping things bottled up is not a good way to live because one day you’ll bottle things up so much that you’ll explode (not literally, just emotionally). I love writing this blog because I have wanted to do it for so long and it makes me happy, even if you don’t want to start a public blog maybe start a private one, it will be like an online diary for yourself and trust me it really does help.

I was listening to a song earlier Unwritten-Natasha Bedingfield because I was feeling a bit low and the lyrics in the song instantly made me feel better, give it a listen.
