So how does it feel to be truly happy? Like, 'Happy from within' as they would say? Cause ever since I was a child I've considered myself to be a happy and positive person, despite the terrible things that happen. And I tell myself "Im just a strong, happy person." but day by day I'm realizing that I never really processed any of the traumatic things that happened to me, never really acknowledged being hurt, used, and so on. .

One of the biggest contributors to my depression now is needing people.. I tend to always isolate myself when I need help but now I just really need that. I feel so dead inside, I feel scared and lonely, it feels strange being in my body, in my mind, I don't recognize myself and feel somewhat detached.

I feel like a stranger to myself tbh..

@Destiny77brooklynn Exactly, It almost feels like your body and brain just physically can't be happy. You see everything in a negative or more realistic view.

I share your pain :(

@isolatedangel that is exactly how I feel right now like I have nothing to look forward to. True happiness to me is not having that heavy weight always hanging over your head to take a deep breath in and know that everything in your life is good. But happiness comes from many different places some people find it in money some people find it in sports others find it in drugs and alcohol abuse.

@Fred l9 That's so true, I don't need much to be happy, I just want to be stable and live normally with minimal stress. The 'happiness' they find in money, drugs, etc is more of a pain killer than real happiness. Since it shouldn't rely on anything. I'm so glad you're a part of this discussion, thank you so much for being there. emoticon blush

I'm here for anyone who needs to talk or vent as well! ♡
