I was trying to convey to you some of what motivates me to be so vigilant in my wanting to challenge certain statements and ideas. I was attempting to explain my behavior and not yours.

Depression non med alternatives
Supplements - Fish Oil, vitamin D, magnesium. I know I am leaving out many things and of course, you mileage will vary
Self Acceptance - It doesn't mean you like the situation but you accept what has occurred. For example, I greatly angered someone significant due to being forgetful.
Initially, I became very depressed. In the past, that would have led to a downward spiral. But I said that I had to accept what happened including any ramifications and move on.
What enabled me to move on is I downloaded this neat computer outlining program in which I am inputting various ideas that come to mind as alternatives. So when I want to ruminate on this situation, looking at this outline makes me focus and move forward.
I am not saying this is easy because it sure isn't. And again, your mileage will vary.
Oh and make sure I implemented procedures so that I don't forget something important again.
Thanks for asking.
