Deal with Disappointment

I would let myself to be depressed for a little while, just so to let the emotions out. Then I would start working on a solution. If there is nothing I can do about it, then I would move on and do something which would make me feel in control and happy instead. I usually am more happy afterwards. The hard thing is try to stay positive but I believe the brain is a very clever organ, if you make it think positive, it will.

I think I usually deal with disappointment in a positive way, although there have been times .... :) Like you I try to get at least something good from the whole thing and most of the times I find it. Hubby and I actually feel that as long as we can find one positive thing, or at least something that we can smile about we'll be ok. Sometimes disappointments make me fight harder, sometimes they're a sign to cease and desist LOL They don't often stop me completely, I see them as a small obstacle and tend to find another way to go trough. Even if it doesn't work, doing something makes me feel a bit better .

Hi LightninStrike! When I am in that kind of situation, I try to learn from the mistakes I have done. I try to get the lessons I could learn from it and be brave and hopeful that soon everything will work out just fine. Of course, I get hurt and sad over it but I don't dwell on it. I try to pick up the pieces together. However, there are those times that I deal with disappointments one after the other, and with this kind of situation I truly get weaken and depressed. I cry alone and I really don't like talking about it because i pity myself and somehow I ask myself why me. I become anti social for a time maybe because I want to reflect and gather all my strength in the meantime. After a period of hibernation, I usually emerged a better and hopeful person (hehe..that is what I would like to think). I guess, it also depends on what kind of disappointments I experience. Just my thoughts dear friend. take care and have a nice day! :)

In this world, it is hard to avoid that. You'll be more mature if you can cope with those situations. :)

live life top the fullest. take a look at your stregnths and work on your weaknesses. feel good about yourself. believe in what you can do. dont let youself be overpowered by depression, let then trigger you to bec0me a better person. and most of all, love yourself more.

I understand what it is like being disappointed or down, but I try not to rely on that and tend to move on. I've seen myself do that, but it is just not healthy and not a good time to waste so have to think positive, realize the mistakes i've done and bury it. how i deal with that is just relaxing my mind take a breathe and realize what i've done then go after to change it.
