When I was in hospital this year, I started working on this “book of truths” with my roommate. She was doing it as part of a group housing program she was in and she introduced me to the concept. I photographed some of my favorites and made this little poster to hang on my wall, so that they would be easily visible when I needed them. The concept is to write them down in a notebook and then read them outloud. Saying things out loud is one of the best ways to make yourself believe them, which is why just reading them doesn’t work as well.

About Author
I am a photographer and writer, trying to make it in a competitive industry. I have struggled with depression and anxiety for most of my life, though for the better part of ten years, I managed to avoid the health care system, until a breakdown in 2009. While I am currently on medication for my depression, my goal is to be drug free and to share holistic solutions that I find on my journey.
I really love your work. I especially like the truths about not needing a relationship to feel validated and about asking for help.
These are great. I’ve done something similar, I called mine “The Book Of Positivity”. Have they helped?
This is lovely and something I should look into doing for myself!
