This is a technique to change how you think to the more positive.
all you have to do is list things you are blessed to have ( even just one thing is a positive step )

Hello @Aidie, I just got like 25 notifications and working my way through them , lol.
(side story alert! and it turned out your username stuck out because it showed in bold in my screen.
I was very worried , thinking i had accidently clicked a stalker button in the app or whatever. OMG what will he think! So I tried for ages to find it and switch it off. Eventually I figured out that it's just your user name in your profile that you have typed in bold font - is that correct? and a thousand apologies for the awkwardly long exchange - ahem - when we hardly know each other :-) - end of side story)
Anyway... I digressed. Do you know what ? your magic worked. People at work, without knowing anything , said i was different and positive and one of them said that I normally speak to my boss as if I am a maggot, but apparently yesterday I was masterful! lol .
None of them know about this and only one colleague in the whole company knows I have ASD.
I am so pleased I am reasonably healthy
I can see a doctor
I can access a dentist
I have more than enough food and can wlak into a supermarket and choose what I want
I have a family
I have a job
I have a pet dog
I have a garden
I can walk
I can talk
I can see
I can think
I am alive !
turn the gratitude onto yourself - and things start to change :)
Ooh-err, Me again... (!) Sometimes I log on and forget what I replied to before, then log on and forget what & where I was going to reply to. So... I happen to be here, signing off, but have just remembered the following.
There was for a few Months last Year, a popular bunch of Threads which were Titled: "Did Anything Good Happen Today?". Begun by a User named "Song"... they contain a lot of Good in them and are a lot like this Thread here. So Anyone unaware of them might want to take a look at them. (There is probably no point replying though, until Miss Song or someone else started a new *undated* one.) Just saying. Out of respect, no-one continued the Theme, not even Me... *sigh*...
P.S. - I am grateful for "Winter Sunshine" as well... but not for Hot, Polluted Summers. Stay Well, All.
yea me, but i'm holding on. I'm ignoring the bad thoughts.
The only limit to fun is your imagination. 
You're asking how to have fun? You're a multimillionaire, it should be simple to find a way to have fun. You've got the entire world in your hands. If you wanted to spend a whole week at Disney Land, if you wanted to disappear to a tropical wonderland, it wouldn't be that difficult to do so. I'm not bashing you, but I'm genuinely confused how a person with your fortune could ever be bored.
over analysis sounds like my problem. Always looking for new different solutions to try. Antidepressants have no benefits for me.
I remember taking mescaline 50 years ago (lsd type drug) It was really weird but now I recognise the things I was thinking were like mindfulness in that I was thinking about pain and whether I would find it a bad feeling or just a feeling I could observe, from a distance. No emotion when experiencing something that mot people would find very distressing
I am trying to work on this to survive my suicidal thoughts at present.
Anyone else thinking like this?
1. Insane multidisciplinary computer skills, surpassing that of even Mr Robot.
2. I don't have to work (at the moment).
3. My country has a surprisingly effective homelessness system.
4. 70Mb/s broadband for £30/mo. (it's usually £50 but I caught them lying to me, and they paid with a heavy discount)
given the chance ,,, I would be apprehensive ... but I would take them
I haven't seen those. I've been reading about the effects of, specifically, DMT. There is a TedX talk on it but Ted banned it apparently. But it's still on YouTube.
yea there are some funny/interesting videos of about Aspies who take/have taken LSD / MDMA on Youtube.
Hi Aidie, I don't really know much about Buddhism to be honest. It's come from an eventful couple of years and negotiating my way through life and analysing thoughts to see how I can develop. Im always analysing thoughts. A bout of CBT helped kick it off. I've found that a lot of the stuff I've said I've heard before as advice. But now I believe it. Its gradual and doesn't all happen at once but I'm hopefully heading in the right direction. I've also been immersed in reading about powerful natural psychedelics this past week and how they can have such a profound effect on those who use them. It's also helping shift my head in the right direction. I have never tried them. I'd love to but am very risk averse.
So I'm also grateful to the Internet so I can read all about it!!
there is a lot of sound advice in this statement, and really good aspirations, which if followed will move you from suffering ( the cause of unhappiness ) to a better way of thinking. I have seen similar in Bankei (1600) and other Buddhist monk/Taoist writings. So you are in very good company. Awesome, especially the, "Who I am".
Really love this statement, really powerful.
Grateful for nature, a loving family, pet, neighbours, job I love, who I am. Grateful for a change in thoughts which are gradually occurring and which I need to practise more: Accept people as they are whatever their "neurological" ststus, know that most people only try their best, but have their own limitations and not to measure others based on my own expectations of myself. To not compare myself or what I have or who I am with others. If someone has a good heart i can't ask for more, even if they bore me to death or are not on my wavelength. I'm grateful for this ongoing change in my thoughts as it's helping me see more clearly, reduce self inflicted anxiety and making me appreciate others more.
