Loneliness Support Group
Loneliness is an emotional state in which a person experiences a powerful feeling of emptiness and isolation. Loneliness is more than the feeling of wanting company or wanting to do something with another person. Loneliness is a feeling of being cut off, disconnected and alienated from other people.

"just" be happy!
Somehow, thankfully, that idea popped into my head yesterday, a few hours after my poor cat threw up a couple times.
"Just" got to see whatever good in what I have, including when cat is gone, and I'm more alone.
My cat wound up urinating on my bed later, at night, but I think the concept of faking your happiness is still a valid one. My elderly cat will eventually be out of pain, I wont be a 24 hour nurse to him, and my other cat will get lots more attention.
"Just" gotta convince---con---myself into that.

I know this is stupid, but after not being able to find a job after graduation for almost two years, I ended up just taking an online teaching job because I couldn't find anything in my field. I was trying to get out of teaching and I feel so devastated. I felt this crushing feeling when I signed the paperwork and when I was in the meetings. I know that sounds so dramatic but it is how I felt. It...

"get happy"--judy garland song i put on repeat, along with dick van dyke's "put on a happy face"---maybe such songs are finally kicking in.
all the cults who are able to get members to work for free, or donate money----but other people cant brain wash themselves to be happy.
(nice photo; i feed 2 lookalikes that hang around outside)
yes, please send me some of your happiness.
"good vibrations"---another song i put on repeat.
Not sure who but
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life marry an ugly wife! LOL 8-)
as if I am happy. I've never experienced it. But I like your idea.
Sometimes it's best to hold on to the little things and those things can add up until a significant amount of happiness. It's how I've coped through my entire life.
But in the last 2.5 years my health has deteriorated, and the mental have crept in. So I am sorry despite amazing support from friends and family and trying everything to get help. Saying be happy just doesn't work anymore. It's just 1 too many kicks in the guts for me.
Good luck everybody
Thanks
yes, it would probably take me twice as long or longer, as you, to bounce back, after what you are going through.
i'm grateful enough to just be able to bounce back from the brink now and then, even if it is temporary.
hopefully, you're not as bad off as in the following link.

take care. maybe this site will help you a bit, mentally.
It seems like part "fake it till you make it" and it also reminds me of the Buddhist idea (can't find the exact quote) that the source of unhappiness is wanting things you don't have. To be happy, we must find a way to be content with what we already have, however little that may seem to be sometimes.
I hope you and your kitties have a nice week.
i have two $20 walmart saucer chairs for complete living room furniture, which is enough for me---though would be nice for me to actually get to sit in them; i am glad my old cat is grooming himself in one, after he was sick.
