If Video Recording Yourself to Give Advice to Yourself on How to Deal with Tinnitus, What Would...

...you say to yourself? I am just curious.

I am thinking about doing it and needing suggestions. In actuality, I am getting better at handling the T a lot more but am thinking about it for depression and mood swings as well. But, here is an interesting idea.

Pretend you are giving advice to someone else struggling with T, depression, or anxiety. What would you say to them?

If you recorded it and then watched yourself, what would your response be? I got the idea from this site about breaking bad habits.

Sorry noone has responded to this for you since it's an interesting topic! I would probably say something that included the following thoughts: In moments of most stress and difficulties coping with (whatever), think about all the good or positive things that you have in your life - people that you are thankful for within your families and friends, talents and abilities that you possess, hobbies and interests that you enjoy and are perhaps even very good at. Then also think about all the people who died at tragically young ages through war or other calamities, accidents, and so forth. Remember those who are homeless, have not enough food to eat, or are suffering from terminal illnesses. And don't forget all the children who are suffering from cancer and leukemia. If you consider some of these things, your own place in life might seem more bearable and even not as bad as it sometimes feels. I'm sure there are some blessings in your life that you have to be thankful for.
