Reddit reviews How To Stubbornly Refuse To Make Yourself Miserable About Anything-yes, Anything!,: Revised And Updated

I really love the book How to Stubbornly Refuse to Make Yourself Miserable.... It has changed my life for the better in so many ways.

I'm glad you've reached out and, even though you are hurting and lacking hope, doing something to take care of yourself.

I don't know what you have lost, but I encourage you to allow yourself to grieve, even if it is painful. Grief works on its own schedule but it does work. You will feel bad for some time, maybe a long time, but by degrees you will feel less bad and over time, it will just be an occasional hurt. Maybe it's hard or guilt-provoking to think about getting past whatever you have lost right now, but that's part of grief too. Allow grief is for you to happen and do its thing.

When I have been at my lowest, what has kept me going are two simple (and perhaps a bit trite, but it has worked for me) things: First, "This too shall pass". Most pain is temporary or it changes over time, and/or you change around it to cope with it. And second, "I want to see what happens next". There is always something in the world to wait for, and if nothing else, curiosity can keep you going. What happens in the next phase of the Marvel cinematic universe? What the hell is going to happen in the next presidential race? Who will be the next amazing musician in your favorite genre?

Please consider looking in to treatment, self-help literature, and/or support groups available in your area. There are in person and online support groups for many issues and conditions (such as grief, chronic pain, chronic diseases; I don't know if these apply to you necessarily, just throwing it out there). A personal favorite self-help book: https://www.amazon.com/Stubbornly-Yourself-Miserable-Anything-yes-Anything-ebook/dp/B008FQJOG2

And, on a less serious note, I find it hard to experience anything other than joy when I watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqZyqSu4XII

I hope the care in this thread is meaningful to you. I don't sign in to Reddit much lately, but I will sign in daily now if you want to message me. And also you've inspired me to reach out to people on r/ToastMe more often. So you have touched my life today, and I hope I have in some way touched yours.

Albert Ellis - any of his books.

I wrote an article about how a retreat helped me but like I said in the article the Healing Codes may just be all in my head. link

Sadly I know only of therapeutic methods for other techniques to get over depression.
