Ya ever hear that saying "self defeating thoughts"? I think the converse is also possible - you know, the power of positive thinking.
We as left-behind spouses, tend to get really down and somehow we lose the power of positive thinking. We descend into negative thinking and we don't even know it.
So we have to take explicit steps - some might say steps that are a little wacky - to get back on the right course. Some do it with anti-depressant drugs. Some with group or individual counseling. But would it hurt if you became your own best counselor?
This is working for me. I'm not big on the drugs. But I can think positively, and it helps.
