Any tips to get me motivated on my journey to happiness?

Hello again everyone,

Today I am not sad about my lack of hair, well maybe the eyebrow thinning out!!! yes, definitely the eyebrow, but it's not intruding on my space like my other disorders do.

I have said before and I'll say it again: Give me Alopecia over my mental conditions anyday!!

I know that a side effect of Alopecia is stress, anxiety and depression. In my case though these things already existed. Has the Alopecia made it worse? At times I suppose.
I am just so sick of feeling inadequate, lacking in confidence. So this time I'm not so sick of being bald!!!

Gosh I sound like the hugest whinger now I know. Maybe that's the problem. Actually, I know it is. My pattern of thinking always leaning to the negative.
I must get positive. Write a song, go for a walk, meditate, write more, sing, dance, let go. Instead of complaining about feeling like shit, I need to do something about making myself better.

Does anyone have any tips for self motivation?
I have good intentions and want to change for the better.
I am just so used to ignoring what I need to do to be happy and doing the opposite.
Negative self talk and being lazy about my goals is not making me happy.

I don't want to depress anyone here by bringing them down but I hope you don't mind.
I promise I'll write something funny, uplifting and positive next time.
My love life is superb, so on that note, to be continued...

I've had bouts of depression too. Then you lean on friends in my case a morose feeling sorry for self balding being and you ask, "What can I possibly offer to this person other than leech their warmth?"
This strange disease where my body is my own worst enemy and my mind makes it worse. Positivity is the key. Now where to find it...
