\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What are your plans for tomorrow night? I hope that you can be with people, have fun and know that you are important to the world. I certainly want that for myself. Depression doesn’t want that for me – so I have come up with 2011 trusims that I am going to repeat to myself for the next few weeks- because of the pressures of the new year- because I turn 47 in a week and because I want 2011 to be better than any other year of my life. <\/p>\n

1. Dates don’t matter. 2010 and 2011 are the same thing. We just label them differently. <\/p>\n

2. Age doesn’t matter. I am the age I am. Nothing will ever change that. <\/p>\n

3. What happened last year is done- either positive or negative- fantastic or terrible. It’s done. <\/p>\n

4. Life can always get better. Life can be good. <\/p>\n

5. The things that bipolar says to me are not true. I can’t trust them and I have to always<\/em> remember who I am on the inside and go from there. <\/p>\n

6. I am loved by many people. <\/p>\n

7. 2011 is a new opportunity to manage this illness more effectively and reach more goals and dreams. <\/p>\n

My brain wants to reject this even as I write it! Depressoin can take every one of the above statments and make them UN truisms. I can’t listen. I’m going to put this list in my journal and read it when times are tough. <\/p>\n

What about you? Please don’t be hard on yourself for what happened in 2010. Let’s be kind to ourselves and look at what we have accomplished. <\/p>\n
