We all keep missing each other on here but we will see what we can get going for you :-)
Man, I am glad I finally found you guys. Since you UPBEAT THREAD, got moved I did not know how to find you. You guys gave me some much needed gut laughs and snorts. God Bless All.
How is Steve?
*CAUTION* That was very spiritual and may be moved. lol Good Night
That is awesome. That book will give you many tools and a great foundation in which to build on. Never stop learning. When you do you start dying.
At birth all people are soft and yielding
At death they are hard and stiff
All green plants are tender and yielding
At death the are brittle and dry
When hard and rigid
We consent with death
When soft and flexible
We affirm greater life
Bamboo is admired by many people because it is strong. At the same time it bends with the wind and excepts it. Our mind can think everything is negative or it can be strong and bend when the winds come. It is not a requirement to relapse although some do. It is not a requirement to let negativity in but some do. It is not a requirement to think you are not perfect but most do.
I'll definately give you my take on it as I read. Seeing your posts, I have to admit you have a genuine style of helping others so anything you recommend is greatly appreciated.
Most impressive.. the force is strong with this one. Soon you will know the power of the Dark Side!
I hope you enjoy it as it tought me a lot again it is a text book and not a spiritual book. We were forced to read it 3 times a week and when I first got there I understood little about what I was reading. I would like to hear your interpretations of what you think about the subjects in there and I will request my copy back from my brother as he has told me he hasn't opened it yet so I will have reference and feed back if you need it. I am not an expert on it but I had two social workers giving me classes and references from it all the time.
yes lol you saw the dummies thing huh? and we can probably get me a MH policy and procedure manual at the sametime-heading to bed-coupple ours ahead of you-have a goodnight :)
So I can read FB for dummies? In color too?? I actually read my books on my phone but you can buy me a nook if you feel bad for poor eyes.
You're right, I didn't do a kindle search. Looks different on my phone, but I downloaded it for $13.17 :)
We'll see how it goes... appreciate it!
It is the taking control of moods and your life. It said it was availabe for Kindle.
I went on amazon and found these two... Kinda bummed they don't have it for kindle though....
1. Thoughts & Feelings: Taking Control of Your Moods and Your Life
2. Thoughts and Feelings: The Art of Cognitive Stress Intervention
Yes they are nice and bouncy-yea they probably saw it coming lol
Yeah I have been feeling better through out the day-but it is lurking there in the background-cranked out some Janis Joplin ( hub thought it was a strange choice but works for me) played in the veggie garden then soaked up some sun in bikini until sun went down,talked to an oak tree.Chatted with Km for a bit and feeling better but not up to par yet.
The sun will come out tomorrow......
yes many threads should be moved but only some I guess actually get moved
I would like to thank that they wanted more people to read it as posts on this forum stay current most of the time, perhaps. Even if this isn't the case it is what I will believe. : )
MrNewHope
The nuclear fallout will likely be coming....lol
I am bipolar and love it but sometimes if I am manic I have so many thoughts so quick I won't even stop to eat : ) : )
You will notice when this happens as I will be on here all day and will post something positive on every post unstoppable like a train going one hundred miles an hour. I have learned how to deal with the depression and now look at is as more of a gift than a curse. haha
As the book goes it is called thoughts and feelings third addition and is available on Amazon.com for around 16 dollars. I earned mine through recovery and it reads like a CBT textbook. It has a lot of good information and what you read was my interpretation of some of the things in there. It has chapters on depression, anger, anxiety, thought stopping and many others. It also gives you guidelines on the chapters you need to read and the order in which to read them depending on what you want to work on. Great text book, also has practical exercises and things you could consider "homework".
You like em?? They're Saline...
I guess THIS is why they put it in the social forum lol
I stopped posting over there so I'm actually glad it went here but I TOTALLY agree, seems they just took the title of the thread but never read through the entire post and just bumped it here. Shame. I've seen similar questions remain there...
But on a good note, clouds typically go away :))
Yeah all is good-except they moved my thread-oh well
You're back!!!---------- woo hoo! :) --------- hope all is good...
Bubulous... If positiveness explodes from u, then I wanna know how to cause nuclear fallout ... count me in! So far no "stinking thinking" for me yet, but I'm gonna save this advice if ever I need it. Which book are you talking about??
warning was fine and I thought it was funny-I just cant figure out why they moved it-I am 100 or so days clean wondering what people had for ideas on helping with the sudden depression that hits me ( and others) and chronic pain.
That is why I put the warning on there : )
I can't help but be positive it explodes out of me like a nuclear bomb most days. I can't give a lot of realistic responses that many people need but I will always be there with a funny or spiritual statement. lol
I guess I got this moved lol. Maybe it was too spirtual!
It all sounds good to me and I kind of did something along the same line-kind of mediating and just deep breathing.Thanks
