How do you find your happiness

Hi

When you feel like that depression is settling in, and this is it.
How do you find that happiness?
How do you find the power to see another day?
When depression hugs you and says, “this is what you deserve and this is where you belong” how do you say, “no I deserve better”
What helps you?

  • Good question. Visiting my mums grave and talking things through with her really helps me. It gets things off my chest. Talking helps so many people. I call Samaritans as well sometimes and that helps a lot, just being heard and listened to. But talking to mum is the biggest help, she was and still is my rock.

  • I wish i knew the answer to that, i can't really remember the last time i was was truly happy. There are so many jobs that need doing around the house, even simple cleaning up, and yet more and more i'm spending time just sitting on the couch, wishing i had someone to talk to. Someone other than the bus driver or checkout girl at Tesco, to say good morning to.

    If only i could go back in time and live my life again, knowing what i know nowm i'd do things so differently.
