for you CF positive ppl, how do you stay motivated & so pepped up?
Hi,
I don' t really know you, and I am not to familiar with your other posts....but I just wanted to say...I am sorry you feel the way you do. Being depressed is a hard thing, and sometimes peoples wheels just get stuck in the mud and not matter how hard they try they can't get out.
I don't usually stuggle to much with depression on a daily basis, though I have had some similiar feelings, sometimes the thought of doing my treatments for the rest of my life, overwhelm me. I don't usually stay feeling that way for long, and when I do feel that way, I usually post on here and get a little encourgament to "suck it up" and I do.
Again I don't know your situation and I wouldn't dare tell you how and what to do, I have not walked in your exact shoes. Sometimes on here I come across more whiney then I actually am in real life because I vent things out......as far as the peppy thing goes... I think it isn't so much the pep as it is making a decision to keep going
I feel like my fake pep that I had is wearing off, thank the Lord, and more now I am in a determination to live this life to the best of my ability, and enjoy things that I can only enjoy now while I am alive on earth.. because I believe you only get one chance to enjoy things here/
I do a lot of the things that Amy said she does. I try really hard to have a productive life, there is always someone worse off then you are, you can give to them, feeling productive and feeling useful goes a long way in helping a mood.
I keep very busy, way busy, some would argue to busy. A good friend of mine who just lost her husband to CF... told me that she is trying to find things in each part of her day to be grateful for.
I do this as well...and it seems to help
I hope and pray that you are able to get some help and a different perspective on life soon, but until you do,
