[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 650390, member: 1550"] Thank you everyone :) I feel good now. Funnily enough it is because of something I read on mindfulness, my favorite philosophy. It is a lot like Buddhism, which has always given me tremendous comfort, but it has a therapeutic edge to it which is soothing to my soul. People who get depressed or ever suffered severe depression tend to panic and almost have PTSD from any sort of sadness and relate it to depression, when it is only sadness. If we just let the feeling pass before us, not analyze it or panic, and remind ourselves that sadness is just a passing emotion, we can deal with it. I did that and it worked like magic. I love mindfulness. Best.Therapy.Ever. It's true too. Every time I get a little sad, I panic and think, "Oh no! Depression again!" And depression is a nightmare. I have to stop thinking every sad wave will lead to a severe clinical depression. I did watch a movie, however it was one of those suspense movies, but I got very caught up in it and it helped tons. Thanks again to all :) [/QUOTE]
