This episode was a serious struggle as I battled the eye of the storm of my depressive cycle, forcing myself to just do it anyway even though I felt it wasn't right. We can be our own worse enemies. There is no such thing as "PERFECT". If we spend all our time waiting for things to be just right, then we will miss out on life. I was truly in a war with my own dark intrusive thoughts. 

An intrusive thought is an unwelcome, involuntary thought, image, or unpleasant idea that may become an obsession, is upsetting or distressing, and can feel difficult to manage or eliminate.

What else can you do to feel more positive?

1. Focus on what you are feeling right now. If you're sad, feel the sadness. ...
2. Share your feelings with someone close to you. Everyone has negative thoughts from time to time. ...
3. Do something nice for yourself. ...
4. Take time to count your blessings. ...
5. Eat well. ...
6. Make social connections.
