I've just had a thought and thought i'd share! I don't know about evry1 else but 1 of my symptoms is i get the jitters and im negative about it. Thing is - u kno when u first go on a date with sum1, n u get butterflies in ur heart; its usually a positive thing bcoz u kno if u like them if uv still got that feeling at the end. Another thing is smiling - it releases serotonin in the brain: the happy hormone! Hope sum1 finds this useful!

i inherited a family trait which makes me smile when i don't notice... a highly teaseable trait in the family but it doesn't make me happy :(

Reading some of the threads on here makes me crack up. I've also read that laughter does a lot of different healthy things for your body. I am just so pissed off most of the time, and I hate being forced to do things, even being forced by myself, making myself laugh just pisses me off more. I have to be crafty about it.

I once read somewhere that it takes 42 face muscles to frown.. But only one to extend your middle finger and feel better. LOL. Just kiddn. Thought it might make someone laugh today and lord knows we all need that'

    This is a general message I am posting to all of the groups I belong to:I just thought back to when I first found DS soon after it first began and what a different life I had then.  It is much better now, mainly because I have my own apartment as opposed to living in an old travel trailer in somebody's driveway. But even that could have been much worse than it was.  I have been here now since...
