Trying to think of the last time I was actually happy

[mayaohh]

Not just for a moment but for the majority of a day. It’s been so long. I used to be so happy and silly and care free. I’m scared I’ll never get back to that

I know what you mean mayaohh. When I was younger I used to think nothing bothered me, had fun with friends, took my kids out but I think for me the anxiety was always just lurking under the surfaces. Now I'm practicing being more aware and accepting how I'm feeling at any time of the day. I'm trying to allow myself the gift of feeling happy even if it only lasts a short time. I'm sometimes finding it easier to accept that all of have good feelings and negative but they are part of being human, we truly are all the same. Like myself I wish that you are able to feel joy and happiness even if just for a moment today 😍

I agree, I've realized that I haven't been consistently happy for probably 7-8 years. At the very best, I'm neutral until something bad happens and then I'm unhappy. I also noticed I tend to linger on negative things and have trouble extracting enjoyment and happiness from positive things in my life. It's rough

It’s awful for you to feel like that.... are you on antidepressants? They really help if you’re on the right one😘
