I used to be happy, even if it only lasted a few months. I thought my emotional issues were gone. I might just have to battle this for the rest of my life. I’m tired of needing willpower not to do things that are bad for me, things I don’t care to share, when other people just live life and don’t have to sit on their hands every second of the day yelling at themselves not to do things.

"sad" is just an emotion

The entire counseling industry treats "sad", , like a catastrophe. It treats "angry" like a felony. It treats "happy" like magic


The medical doctor asked me, :evil: in the last two weeks how many times did you feel sad :twisted:

:roll:


That's a depression screening question. Not her own follow up question


Frequency means nothing without, intensity duration and context


Happiness is not even superior to sadness



:roll:


The problem is that, entitled lil dipshits act like they have a moral right to be happy at all times and if they are not happy, someone must have violated their stupidass "rights"


Then they act like, I have a moral obligation to, never express any reaction except, passive aggressively tolerance. And otherwise "you got mad".


Wrong


Instead of telling me, my reaction, tell me what you did wrong



For example, they said "what" instead of "excuse me"



They were judgmental, manipulative and homophobic

I do struggle with depression, but you’re right, feelings are just feelings.
