I have periodically written about how negative thoughts bring about stress and because those thoughts are part of my life, I write about them.

There are days where I feel fine, those are my busy days, then there are days where because I have no emotional support and understanding on what I deal with, I am back with negative thoughts and feelings again.

I'd love to hear from others who have found something that works for them. Although working through any form of negativity isn't easy, it's always good to exchange notes so that we can work towards acceptance and closure.
