Happy

[Tiberius3]

I am convinced I won’t be happy without certain things. I don’t believe happiness is just inside me. I don’t even know where to start to find it. Or is happiness a fleeting emotion that I shouldn’t be chasing? I have just spent so much of my life and time being anxious or scared or sad or angry. I feel like happiness is my only hope I hold on to. If I do not chase things that bring me happiness, whether healthy or unhealthy, how will I feel okay everyday to keep going?

I think everyone deserves to be happy.

I do believe it comes from within but that doesn't mean you have to, not everyone believes in the same thing

I hear you, its a struggle to feel ok, and as for me i have never felt so unhappy in my life, and i cannot shake off my foreboding and terrible thoughts.

what is it you think will make you happy?

I started to realise that the “ if I just get the job or if I just pass that test or if I just loose X llbs” mentality probably isn’t the best strategy when thinking about happiness. Because what happens if I don’t or it takes a while? Need to start trying to find happiness in where I currently am and enjoying the journey. It’s really really hard but we can try.
