How can I be happy?

“This moment shall to pass” When your in the moment feeling depressed this saying does little to cheer you up but it is a nice little reminder that these feelings don’t last forever. Ever since High School up until adulthood I struggled with bouts of depression, some lasting more than others. Do not to fall into the temptation to take medication. It may alleviate the symptoms, but can cause further problems down the road. Try exercise. When your feeling well, get yourself into an exercise routine. Once a routine is established it’s much easier to maintain when feeling down, also it helps prevents the depression coming back full fledged. We all feel alone when depression hits, but the truth is many others suffer just as you do, so your not alone! Keep a journal, read a book during the times your alone as this helps alleviate the loneliness that sets in. Your counselor was right, try to think positive, but I am well aware of how difficult this can be as I too tend to think more negatively …it’s a practice though. Everyday say something positive as stupid as it may sound … like they say practice makes perfect and in this case, it’s no different matter … if you need a person to talk to please feel free to write me … hope this helped out a bit … tomorrow is a new day! Good luck!

Your therapist told you to think positive? Where did s/he get their degree? online?

Go see someone who knows what they’re talking about.

I’ve seen atleast 5 different therapists in the last 2 years, and not one of them told me to think positive… Yes the role of cognitive behavioral therapy is to change the way a person thinks, however, telling a person to think positive is just as helpful as saying snap out of it

Also anxiety pills do not help with depression… you may need antidepressants.

I really would go talk to someone else…

thats mean bro, zelda you fag. but no, there is no cure for that sadness. Some day’s I freak out and feel the exact same way, its not normal but theres not much you can do. Life will not alwsys be fun and it will mess with you a lot. But I take it day by day in hope that the best thing that will ever happen to you will be unexpected .
