Imdeanna, welcome!

It takes time, but try to counter the negative thoughts with positive ones. When you catch yourself thinking those thoughts, try taking a deep breath and imagine you're blowing them away on the exhalation. Another one is to shake your head gently and to imagine you're shaking the negative thoughts away. Then think about all the things you're thankful for. It helps to write them down when you're in a good mood since it can be difficult to think of them when you're feeling blue. If you need to, carry the list with you to pull out and read. YOU CAN DO IT! You are the master of your body and of your mind.
