Abraham Lincoln knew what he was talking about!!!!!

Regarding depression, he stated that most folks are usually about as happy as they make their minds up to be!!!! Wow, He was wise, but that is no new, news!!!

Most people know that Mr. Lincoln suffered from depression. Who would not? A war, slavery, his wife has been said to have suffered from schizophrenia..........

'Just like it is said, "you are what you eat!" I'm in big trouble, imagine a big potato chip sitting on the couch! and furthermore, You are what you think!

Back to," You what you think!" I can even use Mr. Potatoe Chip Man as an example of my negative thinking, which exacerbates depression!

When I choose a negative behavior, it feeds into negative thoughts.

For instance, Thought - "you are such a piglet!!"

Feeling - discouraged, sad, down

Behavior - oh no, more potatoe chips?!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And on, and on, and on!!!!!!!!

Since depression is such a big part of chronic pain; today, I wanted to stress the importance of being aware of the fact that we are in the driver's seat!!!! Right?!!!!!! Of course, it is not easy! It involves trying to be more aware of our thinking process, and the negative downward spiral that can occur..

We fibrofolk are very special people!!!!!!

We are worthy!!!! Remember, GOD don't make no junk!!!!!!!!!
