Well, I am providing a message to you, since being limited to 280 characters with spaces is Very limiting when trying to address Very Important matters concerning Mental Health. This applies to Anyone really who Sufferers with negative thinking, whether be for an Average Individual who struggles some, or for those who suffer with negative thinking based Conditions (i.e. Anxiety & Depression, OCD, PTSD (where negativity exasperates/creates the condition subsequent to initial triggers), Addiction(Recovery), ADD, ADHD, Likely BPD, & I would not doubt at all, Bipolar Type 2; my Son was more recently diagnosed with Bipolar 2 (meds for Life?!), but realized the Importance of Everything written (in “The Final Cut” what I wrote & ditto what I said to him until I was blue in the face 1000 times over it seems… typ. as a parent I guess :)). He is off any meds(!) & is now doing Beautifully with a Beautiful handle on Life matters @29… Hey, it took me 46 yrs before I came across Something that Began the process of Turning my Life Completely Around … Anyway, I wrote a Book about Resolving These Issues in and through Life… I will convey to you in as short a form as possible to explain here and if desired go to read more as addressed …
I was a Sufferer for 25 yrs., a Worse caser, No Doubts, with Anxiety/Depression, and I did have the OCD thing going on for sure… & a Grey Beard Psychologist told my X (now) , you may as well throw away the key, because he is not going to get better … (SERIOUSLY!) And yeah, I tried to commit suicide twice… I went through the psych wards 4 times including follow-up out-patient care, besides went through a few private practicing Psychiatrists and Psychologists. By today’s standards the Professionals would likely have tagged me with other acronyms mentioned along the way… Did I Learn What It Truly Takes from the Professionals Community, on How to Turn my Life Around, Naturally? NO, not even close based on what I went through & witnessed!!!
I initially Learned the Proper Natural Means to Amend matters from an X-Sufferer as I am now, as I heard the Lady talk on a radio station back in 2002; frankly speaking I connected with her Immediately… She nailed the Process of Positivity per a specific approach via a Self-Help program I purchased for approx. $400; don’t think there was a close 2nd, either back in 2002, or is there now… She & Mental Health Professionals who she Knew & Trusted, collaborated over 16 years & Developed & Optimized this Process. I was an engineer for 33 yrs and unless this approach sounded Factual and Logical, which This Is All About, then I wouldn’t have done this! And if I did not do something Feasible to Change the way I thought at the time, then There would be No Way I would be here today …
Bottom Line, each negative thought impacts our Brain/Body chemistry, & hence the way we Feel, & Our Emotions, in a negative way, & each Positive though reverses & Normalizes that based on the Sum of over time… So it is a matter of switching those negative (95%+ unreal) thoughts to Positive thoughts, to change the way we Feel and Resolve these accumulative Issues we Suffer with… It Takes a Full Process to do This Right for Life via a Repetitive Training, Cognitive/Behavior Modification approach. Modern day CBT may be kinda similar but these apparently need to be individually personalized which is not necessary at all per the process I learned from… This approach is Self-Personalized as the Individual or Sufferer is initially Conditioned, and then progresses Step by Step, as instructed, and Learns How Best to drill down to one’s individual negative thoughts and sources of negativity as Best as we can as humans, switching those negative thoughts to Positive thoughts… When Reading and Working this, eventually, One’s Mindset actually shifts from being predominantly negative to being Positive ( automatically & Naturally over time).
Subsequent to starting this Process, I was not sure along the way if this was going to work (with those negative/unreal thoughts running through my mind), however, I kept on Trying nonetheless, because I Seriously felt, if this does not work, I can’t go on any more!!!! Just about 1 ½ months after starting this, I felt That Initial Switch happening within me… I Actually Dropped Down and Cried Like a Baby, Knowing this was the First Time I ever felt Positivity roll through me Automatically and Naturally… That Blew me away and could not wait to continue this Process… I was :( with tears but gleeful, and that was followed by plenty of True :)s … My Whole Demeanor went from hesitation and fear to, Excitement to Continue the Process! … When that switch happens that is what we Feel (from fear to Excitement & Can’t wait to Continue…).
As time went on though, since I spent many a time on the depressive side of the Anxiety/Depression fence, I realized the Self-Help program I learned from, did need some shoring up to Help Deal with Depression matters Appropriately. And that is what I was able to Add to the Process along with other additions which Certainly Can Only Help, which I funneled into this True Self-Help Book. Essentially, this Process allows an Individual to build up One’s Positivity/Positivity Threshold to levels where Sufferers can Progress and become as Strong as humans can be really…
However, like everything in Life, there are limitations on How Strong we can really become as humans… And, Yes, there will be times in Life when that Positivity Threshold within us will be surpassed/exceeded , based on Very Difficult/Trying times, and this does include when we may be overcome with significant levels of Depression, especially during times when things fall outside Our Control… And Yes, I felt Such Tough Depressing times several times in my Life!… During these times, we Need Reliance on Our Support System… Unfortunately though, help from People in Our Lives is Very Much Limited… Hence, The #1 Support System We Really Need in Life Is Something Much Bigger than us, No Doubts… Our Foundation/Our Faith and Yep, God!!!!!!!!!! Hence in the Book I wrote, section 4, which is summarized addressing to Sufferers or Anyone really … To Allow Your Faith to Grow with age…
If there are Doubts about this, just think about matters in terms of Who/What provided Everything around us and Ourselves anyway?… If you may be thinking from Something Rather Special :), then I would Know You are on the Right Track :)… So, In Sum, what it Takes In Life is the Inner Strength we can develop within per the Positivity Tools/Skills Process, with Full Instruction Set and Details provided where appropriate, along with God (& Jesus if Christian), for Our #1 Support… Oh, as section 4.1, 1st paragraph addresses though, I do not discriminate against any Faith or Religion…
Combined, This Is All We Can Do For Ourselves In and Through Life as humans (No Doubts !!)… Of course Exercise, Eating Well are also addressed in this Book. Collectively, Can’t Do More… And as for meds and supplements, they’d be temporary solutions Only at Best, not to mention additional dependent crutches (no joy), and No Permanent means to amend matters. As for me, based on all what Learned and Wrote about, I don’t think I could be nor get to Feel any Better as a human!…
And Yes, I have seen the True Power in this Book, with Book in Hand only… In the 2nd Edition form, admittedly, it Saved the Life of a Rather Spiritual Young Lady to begin with… Left me in Awe which I now share in the “The Final Cut” of my Book Rise and Shine Anxiety & Depression & Life Management Tools. Her review is on the Amazon site, the 1st review I received dated 9/1/2015. Go to Blog post https://riseandshineanxietydepression.net/2019/09/07 , where I address about the Huge Positive Impacts I’ve witnessed with Book in Hand only, for (3) consecutive People in an apartment complex I ran into who Needed/Desired Change… a place I lived where I had a bit of a reputation.
Oh, as far as how many Books sold, and my Popularity #s, no one really knows me, but I assure you, don’t need the popularity thing going on, nor a PHD to generate a Book like this… Besides, if I was a practicing PHD, I would not be able to Speak nor Write about TRUTH on Mental Health matters & what it Really takes… It is All about Experience+, Education from the Very Best (an X Sufferer who went through this stuff herself), Growth, etc. I Urge you to at least look further into this… take a look at what written in blog post about the 4th/Final Edition – “The Final Cut” @ https://riseandshineanxietydepression.net/2019/03/13/. “The New “Preface/Summary” is one suggestion… Or even better, go on Amazon.com (Home page), and Get this and Do This… You Will Hardly Be Disappointed By Any Means, and Yes, this will Likely be the Most Important Education in a Lifetime Believe or not :)!
Take Xtra Care my Friend(s), and Remember if You Keep On Trying You Cannot Fail…
