Thank you, I posted something a little while ago that got downvoted that was similar. Nice to see this was not.

You got this! Take it one step at a time, and realize that if you fall you don't have to stay down.

Happiness is pure luck. Where you were born. To whom. Is your brain ok? is your body ok? Are you able to attain your dreams? Pure luck.

Never forget that happiness is a choice

8 years ago | Likes 16 Dislikes 9

A better word is Optional. Choice implies that people are choosing to be sad, which isn't the case.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Sometimes that choice involves therapy and prescription drugs though. No shame in that.

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 2

Nope. I would love to be happy again. It's just not happening. Nobody wants to feel this way, I did not choose to feel bad all the time.

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 1

My point is that you can choose you perspective, which does play a significant role in mood. Not meaning to disenfranchised anyone

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 5

If it was, it wouldn't be a problem.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

like saying "If you wanted, you could regrow that arm." Happiness isn't a choice. I fight every day not to give in to the despair. 1/2
