I Have A Random Thought

I recently have been thinking about the quote "Happiness is a choice", a quote where I definitely disagree with. No, happiness is not a choice! It's just typical idea of our society "There's no place for you, you better change!", but that's not how it should be. I think, that happiness is either a factor of pure luck or ignoring the world. How can you be happy, while knowing that a million people suffer at this very moment? I definitely can't. When people tell me to be 'more positive' I deny, I cannot be happy with all what's happening in our world, I can't be happy with my more personal problems to. We should not be happy, we should be ourselves, and always remain ourselves

Happiness is a choice. But if our Founding Fathers had chosen happiness, we would still be bowing toward Buckingham Palace five times a day.

I know that loneliness is a symptom of depression but I believe the being alone in the right environment (kayaking 🙂) can be very healing.

Good luck

Haha, I agree, not that I am American. But, in my opinion, it's better to resist, to fight, then to accept.

Hmm, not really. I feeling quite down for a while (being betrayed by friends, being bullied, feeling very lonely). But I once did tough, a couple of years ago, but that's a long while back.

At your age, a couple years can feel like eternity. Would a hobby help with your depression? Kayaking has always helped me get through tough times.

I try out quite somethings. Like fencing, kendo and hiking, unfortunately it doesn't seem to really work. But thank you for your support, I really appreciate it 😄

Yes, I am depressed for about one year now.

I'm sorry to hear that. Were you happy before that?

Do you have a mental illness?
