Over the edge

    My world is crashing down on all sides around me. Do you know that feeling where you look around and panic just grabs you by the throat. Nothing seems to make sense anymore, nothing gives you happiness. I can?t even remember the last time I was actually happy. I mean really, unfeigned happiness, where there wasn?t a little voice in the back of my mind telling me it is all fake or where there weren?t dark clouds of doom just glooming on the edge of my vision.

    Do you remember being a little kid, your problems seemed so huge. The thoughts occupying our minds, the things we worried about ? things like speaking in front of your peers, or a schoolmate picking on your shoes.

    But no matter how big the troubles we faces were ? we could find sanctuary at home. Or at least, we all should have had that feeling. I know I did, I could run to mummy and she would make it all better. And I?d get instant result often too. Things were handled for me, and in an organised way. My mummy could fix the world if I had asked her ? or so I was sure.

    I wish I was happy again. I know I have been, I just can?t see to get that feeling back.

    *sigh*

    Vivamus,

    I'm sorry you are going through a tough spot. I think depression, if that's possibly what you are experiencing, is a difficult thing to beat on your own. I went through depression and therapy and now when I'm down, I know it's because of my irrational thinking on some level. I try to identify that and things get a little easier to deal with.

    Oh and happy birthday!

    Happy Birthday Viv, 1 day in advance. and a song that might make you smile, which is the first step to being happy.

    Here is a little song I wrote
    You might want to sing it note for note
    Don't worry be happy
    In every life we have some trouble
    When you worry you make it double
    Don't worry, be happy......

    Ain't got no place to lay your head
    Somebody came and took your bed
    Don't worry, be happy
    The land lord say your rent is late
    He may have to litigate
    Don't worry, be happy
    Lood at me I am happy
    Don't worry, be happy
    Here I give you my phone number
    When you worry call me
    I make you happy
    Don't worry, be happy
    Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style
    Ain't got not girl to make you smile
    But don't worry be happy
    Cause when you worry
    Your face will frown
    And that will bring everybody down
    So don't worry, be happy (now).....

    There is this little song I wrote
    I hope you learn it note for note
    Like good little children
    Don't worry, be happy
    Listen to what I say
    In your life expect some trouble
    But when you worry
    You make it double
    Don't worry, be happy......
    Don't worry don't do it, be happy
    Put a smile on your face
    Don't bring everybody down like this
    Don't worry, it will soon past
    Whever it is
    Don't worry, be happy

    Vivamus, I'm so sorry you're in this pain. I'll be thinking of you when I pray tonight, that you will feel better soon. If it is a long-term situation, with no resolution in sight, please see a doctor. Therapy or medication might be helpful to you; I took antidepressants for a while, until I didn't need them anymore, and they saved my life.

    Bless you, and please have a good birthday.

    Hope your feeling better soon.

    my recipie for unhappiness is to paint

    it seems you work with the other side of your brain while painting and so you cant think of worries at the same time

    Viv,

    I can appreciate what you are feeling. It takes a while to be happy. But I think happiness is relative. It's an inner contentment with the things we DO have. Granted we're all looking for true happiness, but I don't know if anyone in this world really is. It is a matter of appreciating the things you have now. Health, friends, your surroundings. Do things for yourself, that YOU like to do. Don't let other people, tell you where happiness is, or how you should live your life. We make our own happiness.............

    Hugs,

    Puternut
