Do not accept negative thinking.

I began with self-talk, by telling myself things could be worse. I concentrated on the positive things. My face was not burned, and I was still capable of making love. These things are taken for granted until they are threatened or for some taken away. My suggestion for a positive recovery is to find whatever it is you can be happy about no matter if it is insignificant to the big picture, because it will not be to you. This may not be much, but if you want to recover, there will be something to feel good about, and available to you. This is not magic, it can be and probably is the hardest thing you will ever do, and you must convince yourself that you want a productive life. This will not be easy, but what other choice do you have? Giving up is not the answer. Never refuse support by turning someone away who wants to talk to you. It’s not uncommon to want to crawl into your shell, but don’t. I have added a couple of links I think could be helpful.
