A Litany of Choice

Been depress and I wrote this to express the way I'm dealing with. My hope is that it could help others.

My Litany of Choice

I have chosen not to give into the tyranny of my depression and to accept the sources of my distress, to over come them, and survive. I will not let fear control me, I will not let anger dominate me, I will not let doubt hold sway. I will allow what the future may bring, whether for good or bad, and accept it.

My fate is that what I chose it to be and I must be steadfast in my determination. I refuse to be like flotsam in a current of worsening circumstances. I will instead be the stone by which others cling or else they should be swept by rapids. The strength in the stone is that, though in time it is worn, it is also polished. I will be that stone.

Doubt leads to fear, fear leads anger, anger becomes hate. To doubt is to hate and I will not hate. We are all born knowing love, it is part of what we are. We can not exist without love. Hate is a learned behavior. Hate destroys. Doubt destroys.

I will unlearn fear and live.
