I've discovered a unique premis over my life... Telling a clinically depressed person to just be happy and to not worry is like telling a fish to swim out of water. BESIDES THAT'S ALL I WANT TO DO is be happy.
yes I am familiar with the song, btw.
YouTube - Bobby Mcferrin - Don't Worry, Be Happy (Robin Williams anyone?)
But... it isn't so easy as that when you have clinical depression. If it was so easy to just wake up and be happy I'd have done that four f'n years ago. But I digress, because no matter how I explain it, you won't understand unless you go through the same or similar problems yourself. Besides Sadness, Grief and Depression AREN'T WRONG. Its okay to feel the woes in life sometimes. Society doesn't want to deal with woes, but they are a vital part of human experience... Anyway, Bobby Mcferrin forgot to write that sadness is necessary if we are to really understand joy. without knowing sadness we can't find out the true meaning of joy. I'm tired of people trying to make me feel like its wrong to have the feelings I feel.
