where’s the happiness

I actually had a good Saturday. I walked twice, played Barbie’s with my granddaughter and monster trucks with my grandson. I felt fairly relaxed and not depressed. Only, I wasn’t happy. I should have been happy, but that feeling never showed up. I’m glad I wasn’t feeling depressed, I truly am. But I want to experience happiness again. I’m not sure I even remember what it feels like. I’ll see how I do today. Keep active, try to engage with my loved ones and hopefully experience some happiness along the way

I understand. Since my husband died (3 years ago) and I moved to a new city to be closer to my son, and also developed some health issues I have not experienced a single minute of happiness or even complete relaxation. This is a very difficult problem and I don't really know how to change it. We are lucky though that we do have close relatives.

I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. And the many changes life has thrown at you. I’m glad your closer to your son and hope you get opportunities to enjoy your relationship with him
