Guilty when happy #Happiness #happinessanddepression #Guilty

For all of my 5 year marriage and 16 years of being on my own . I battled and still battling with some depression. Depression , anxiety , not being sure of myself sometimes feel more “me” than when I’m happy. I sometimes have to drill down to atoms to know why I am happy. I know I deserve to be happy often but sometimes I’m so pessimistic that it. Won’t last

I Lost Sight of What Was My "Happiness"

I've been in this dark space for so long, I've forgotten what I've always done regardless of being depressed: creating with my hands. I forgot how accomplished I felt whenever I made a meal that I've never made before, or finishing a drawing, or some other thing that involved creativity. I guess the ol' lightbulb didn't completely die out, but it's a small joy that I needed at the moment. #Depression #MentalHealth #DepressiveEpisodes #Happiness #happinessanddepression #creativity

Do you think that happiness is a choice no matter who you are?

I have been suffering from depression for almost 2 years. Early this year I realized that what I was feeling wasn’t just “the blues” or a bad day, or a few, but I had become severely depressed. I can promise , too, that there was no choice.

I so desperately wanted to be happy and feel better. If I had a choice, I would have chosen a different, happier existence.

I believe there is a choice when you become cranky and in a bad mood for no apparent reason. And when you are dealing with people suffering from mental illness the rules kind of change for us. I may be wrong though. #Happiness ##choosehappiness ##happinessanddepression ##depressiontreatment
