A bad attitude can come from just about any situation or outcome. Illness, crisis, depression, accident, death, you name it, all these things and more can bring about a bad attitude. This attitude can be short term, or last for years. The problem is that the thought process can be altered to the point where the individual makes decisions that he or she wouldn’t have made otherwise. These decisions can be very minor or major depending on the individual or situation. Some decisions can effect the person’s health.

A good example is:

A person who is mentally ill and is living in denial, refuses to take their medication. This decision that the person is making not only effects their future, but also affects the immediate family and loved ones. The health of the mentally ill person ends up being drastically different than it would be if the right decisions would have been made.

Now, it would seem from the example above that one would not have to have a bad attitude to be in denial. But, wouldn’t denial be a form of a bad attitude? A bad attitude about a given reality, and not willing to accept what is happening to them.

Mental illness is only one example and is certainly not the only one that can bring about bad decisions that can have effects on ones health. Think of it this way, if you are happy and have high esteem, you are more likely to make better decisions than if it were the other way around, hence a bad or poor attitude.

Just a thought:

If you are reading this post, and someone’s been trying to tell you that you need to seek help, it’s only because they really do care. Perhaps, maybe, you should look at that as an array of sunlight breaking through the dark black clouds into your life. What would it hurt to consider it anyway?
