Having struggled with depression all my life, I have learned to be fairly pessimistic. But I've also discovered how to free myself from negative thoughts and their accompanying mood states by using some simple tools: reflection, journaling, self-care, cognitive restructuring, exercise, socializing, savoring pleasure and beauty, random acts of kindness, cultivating compassion, creating and recognizing that I am never the only person who feels whatever I feel. I feel that this is helping me to build both hope and faith.

My depression and pessimism never did either me or anyone else any good.  Vitality and passion lead to virtuous acts.

I always try to remain optimistic about things,inspite of the situations ,I`m faced with,I

know my faith is being tested.
