How Can I Be Positive When I Feel So Depressed?

This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader.

Anonymous: Hi, I’m hoping for help. I find that I’m having a difficult time being part of this world. I understand I shouldn’t be burdened by all of the atrocities of this Earth, but when I can’t unsee the things I’ve seen, and continue to see, it brings a sense of despair and sadness that I can’t shake.

Council: When you see these things that disturb you, can you stop in that moment and say, “I have chosen to bring this to me? I have chosen to be aware of that. Why would I choose that? Do I need to see it differently? Do I need to pray for people involved in this? Do I need to understand that no matter what happens now, we go on, and when we end this life and perhaps conjure it up again, we learn to understand it differently?”

So when these things that disturb you come into your field of vision, or you hear it, whether it’s on the TV or from other people, you have called that in. This would not come to you if it did not match your vibration. And it’s coming to you because you want to learn to deal with it. You want to learn how to change it. You want to see the good and the bad, and not be disturbed by either one, but to pray and know that in the end, everything will be alright.

What do you think when you see these things? How do you feel? Do you get angry? Why? Can you change it by being angry? It’s all about you learning about you, why you called it in, and learning how to handle it. And perhaps when you work with it long enough, you let it go. You realize all things change. And you just sit, and watch, and wish for the best. You imagine the best and in that, peace will come.

Anonymous: How can I battle these thoughts and continue to be positive when I’m so depressed?

Council: Acknowledge being depressed. Here it is again. Here are these thoughts that bother me. So if they bother you, do you sit in those thoughts? No. You are to change your thoughts to something pleasant, even if you have to force yourself to do this. When you change the thought, the feeling in your body will change.

Blessings to all, and have fun with your creations.

  2. Hi Bob and Cynthia,

    thank you for these great posts! It does relate to what I am bringing into my life. Although it seems strange to me why would I bring myself difficulties as there are so many options for me to have fun on Earth.

    I wonder if I can ask a related question directly here?

    My girlfriend of 11 years has completely changed: from being shy to being extraverted and intensly spiritual. She claims she is the reincarnation of Jesus Christ and listens to literature relating to him and other spiritual things (like Tao te Ching, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, and so on). But a lot of people suggest that she is delusional although she says many things that seem wise and spiritual. She claims that she feels pain all across the body and connects that to crucifixion in her previous lifetime…

    I don’t know where is she: is she a mental patient (psychotic and shizofrenic) or are these spiritual insights that she claims she can feel and understand real?

    Life with her is become increasingly difficult as I find her behaviour (shamanic dances, singing, yelling, shaking during sleeping) very odd, uncomfortable and un-social. Not to say that my friends and family tell me that I best better escape from such a partnership.

    I regret that I was agressive yesterday towards her due to her behaviour. I promised to her and myself not to act that way again. It is as if she and I don’t live in the same world. And that the truth does not lie in neither of these two worlds.

    Thank you,
