[quote=Anonymous]Just want to make sure OP, you mean occasional suicide idealization, not daily and not with a plan right?

I exercise daily and get outside daily in all weather. I focus on gratitude. I focus on action. So if there is some cause really upsetting me, I figure out what little things I can do to do my part. I also have really learned how to set boundaries with highly toxic people. I no longer need people to like me. I simply need respect. I also am really careful what extra activities I agree to.

Also, if a friend is in need with anything from a new baby to being wiped out by lupus and bedridden, I now focus on ways I can help that I truly want to do rather than feeling I must offer anything and everything or I am bad and dealing with endless guilt that I am not doing enough. I don't even want to clean my own house let alone my toilets, so no need for me to offer to clean, but if I can afford I will offer to go in on a cleaning service with a friend to help. I really only want to cook for my family, but I will bring over some Wegmans meal to the friend now instead of feeling it must be homemade.

If I had to chose the 2 things that that made the biggest difference it's exercise and boundaries with toxic people.[/quote]
