I've had a crappy day.
I need/want positivity and anything motivational.
And I'm pretty dam sure I won't be the only one. I know many struggle with different things in the forums. Be it mental health, illness, the struggles of their life circumstances and much more.
So post your words of positiveness, motivation and anything else that will leave any of the readers smiling, believing in themselves and feeling upbeat.
I love a quote so post them. Someone might just post something that helps right now.
And if all else fails just be a twat we can laugh at, or with. |

Hope this makes you smile but I was at the bus stop after picking my daughter up from nursery. Went to sit next to her on a very very small little fence, misjudged and fell right back and nearly rollypollied  . She laughed. I laughed. Hope you laugh.
And a motivational quote is something one of my fave teachers told me- when you’re in hot water, be like a kettle and sing!  |

"“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.” I feel like this one I've heard before is a good one."
So much easier said than done!! |

If you are on insta, then I recommend 'disappointing affirmations' - it makes me laugh and realise I'm not the only one feeling a certain way. For example:
"It's okay to have feelings... But do you need to have so many?"
Not exactly what you were looking for OP so I'll go and try to find something more sunshiney

One thought I always try to hold on to is "You are enough."
Not every day can be sunshine and rainbows. But keep your head high and remember the darker days are just shadows to highlight the contrast on brighter days |

Surround yourself with people that make you happy.
People who make you laugh.
Who help you when you are in need.
Would never take advantage of you.
Who generally care for you.
Those are the ones worth keeping in your life...Everyone else is just passing through  |

Mine isn't a well known quote. It's something a dear friend said to me in one of her birdsong voice notes.
"The light is always there, sometimes you're just wearing sunglasses".
And then she went on to tell me about people wanting to rub themselves but you know... it was cute. :D |

I'd rather be my honest, authentic, sparkly brilliant self and disapoint some people, then exhaust myself trying to keep up the pretence of perfection.
Also
We are all meant to shine. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking yourself so that others won't feel insecure around you. Because if we let ourselves shine we unconsciously give others permission to do so too. |

Similar to you can't change how others act but you can change how your react. |

You're only as much as you settle for. If they settle for being somebody's dishwasher that's their own f***ing problem. If you don't settle for that and you keep fighting it, you know, you'll end up anything you want to be.

Sorry to hear you're going through such rubbish. This is a quote that I have come back to numerous times in my life:
Success is not final
Failure is not fatal
It is the courage to continue that counts

I love this quote PW, and know you'll get it x
Single is no longer a lack of options – but a choice. A choice to refuse to let your life be defined by your relationship status but to live every day Happily and let your Ever After work itself out. |

Hey, OP. Sorry you’ve had a wanky day. I’m useless at the positivity and motivation so I’m going with the ‘all else fails’ option
Whenever I’m feeling down, I watch this short YouTube video. It reminds me that sometimes it’s the simplest thing that can make our day.
Turn it up and watch the whole thing.
Enjoy! (It’s totally safe, I promise)

'In the very assurance of sorrow's ending there is more sorrow.'
'Il faut imaginer Sisyphe heureux.'
'They also serve who only stand and wait.'
Maybe thought-provoking rather than cheerful, but, still, there is a joy in thought. |

Thank you!
A couple from me.
Don't take criticism from someone you wouldn't seek advice from.
Unconditional love does not mean unconditional tolerance.
The may not be as positive or motivational but they work for me. |

"A good one from the lyrics of a very good song…
“You gotta hit the lows to feel the highs”"
And this is completely true ! If you come from a poor background and make it in life you appreciate what you've done and made as opposed to a rich kid who inherited his wealth |

I was once in a shit place very bad very low it will never happen again but I do not need to be told I don't know nothing about depression.. depression isn't an illness it's a feeling your feeling it's a message from yourself telling you something your doing isn't right for you.. something needs to change.. you can either pretend your suffering and it's an illness or you can literally change that grey area of your life.. no one is coming to save you your in this on your own whether your single or in a relationship.. if you cannot control your own state of mind your just a feather in the wind waiting to see what direction life blows you in instead of taking control of that and deciding where the fuck you are heading .. it's your duty to yourself to make this life what you want it to be .. don't look for excuses and people to blame.. crying about depression when there's kids in Syria who have lost their parents and still wake up every day and bake bread to sell on the street hoping to buy a pair of shoes sometime next year |

Sorry your feeling like this op
There’s no such thing as a bad day, just bad moments we choose to take with us for the rest of the day
I like this one as it reminds me to try and find something positive in each day, no matter how small |

Oooh this resonates with me.
I can create or change different things about me...I forgot that sometimes. I get to decide how I am |

So much no.
But I don't have the energy this morning to start explaining why so much of what you've written is wrong for so many people, and shows a huge lack of empathy for people living with or having partners/family/friends living with depression.

When facing an uphill challenge, don't look to the top of the mountain, just focus on the step in front of you. Rest if you must. But never give up. One step at a time.
I hope today is a better day for you OP. Do something that makes you smile.

Wow… this is such a ridiculously bad take on what depression actually is, and is wrong on so many levels….. depression isn’t just feeling a bit sad… |
