What's the use in trying to be happy. We never will be, any of us. Neither will any of the "sane' people. Life is an unending sick joke, we're all a bunch of monkeys in a cage throwing shit at each other. Happiness is just another myth that keeps society togehter, and for what./

I can honestly say there were times before where i was really genuinly happy. I wish i could have it back and i would do almost anything for it now. Sometimes i wonder the same thing about whats the point? We're born we work our asses off, some of us then we just die.. and for what???

I've been very depressed lately but its finally to the point where I do believe I'll be happy again one day. I know I've been that way before and I am beginning to see glimmers of hope. It can happen.

Felt like you do and spent a lot of time crying about it too. Then the dr. upped my meds and at first didn't realize anything different, but when a friend came over and after an hr I still wanted her here and was laughing and carrying on with her I realized hey..this is like old times. I'm actually having fun and enjoying myself. so hang on till the right mix of rx are found. Happy may just be a pill away.lol

I'm in that phase of thinking too. I hope it passes...usually all of my feelings eventually pass.

We all feel just like you time to time. Then it lifts and there is happiness, love, a cool breeze, a childs smile and so much more! Tomorrow you will have a better day!

Happiness is a choice
Mental illness or not.
I worked in a mental hspital and some of the happiest peaple I ever met were mentally ill.
So give your self a break and realize that your true nature is to be happy.
Thats why unhappiness feels so bad and happiness good.
I hope you get it.

I like the image of monkeys in a cage throwing shit at one another...made me alugh a little, but anyway...take baby steps, do small things to make yourself happy first. Once you're happy, the happiness will just spread.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
