I like music very much. Unfortunantly if I listen to
it when I'm down all the wrong songs come on.
doh
I usually sit alone and try to think of all the
things I'm thankful for. I ask myself what is
positive in my life? Usually I find quite a bit
that makes me happy. If its over missing someone.
I think about the impact he/she has had on my life.
Concentrating on all the silly and wonderful times
I shared with him/her. Realizing how much I would
have missed out on if I hadn't known such a wonderful
person.conversing

may sound crazy, but I sleep. I learned that I don't feel pain or sadness while I'm sleeping and usually have some pretty good dreams so that tends to help.

Things have gotten so much better in my life lately (finally accepting the fact that my fiance' is not coming back...he passed away almost 2 1/2 years ago. He will always have my love and I know he watches over me....that has helped alot! Sometimes time is the cure for sadness...at least for me. Things get bad, but they always get better and I try to remind myself that everything happens for a reason.

Analyze the situation or circumstance that is making me sad.

Then simply assure myself that it's going to be ok. I will survive this too.

Then make a decision as to the next step. Weighing both the negative step and the positive step in opposite hands.

Then make a firm final decision based on the outcome of thought.



The moral is to Think

I just lay back and enjoy the saddness. I wallow in it. I figure most of the time I hardly feel anything, so the saddness is a pleasant change from the numbness.
