Get out and find some happiness.
I overheard two people talking. One was complaining that she always feels depressed. The other one (obviously who has never suffered depression) said well my mom always told me to "get out and find my own happiness, its not gonna come to me!" This got me thinking about how absured this statement really is. Where would one go to find this happiness thats just out there waiting to be found? I could be sucked up right now and plopped down into Disney World (u know the happy place) and I would not find happiness. I am pessimistic. I would probably be pissed off that something sucked me up and away from the comforts of my home and my laptop. I guess what I am saying is that anyone that has any experience with real depression would find the humor in "getting out and finding your own happiness". I swear that the other day on my way to work I was the only one getting rained on. No one else had their windsheild wipers on! (of course this may be contributed to my crazy obsession of raindrops on the windsheild. I can't stand it. Not even one!) But to get to the point, some people just don't get how depression is a real disease. How debilitating it can be to its sufferers and why some people will never find happiness. Someone who has not experienced depressions clutches onto their heart and soul will never ever understand. As a survivor of major depression I understand.
