Cloudy days and umbrellas (my personal experience)
Once upon a time ( You can't even remember it, can you?), you used to be happy and carefree, you used to be able to enjoy life. Then something happens and your days became grey. You stopped enjoying the little things and seeing them altogether. There was a little voice in your head telling you to be sad, that life was not worth living, that you were not good enough, that there was nothing you could do and there was no way out.
Of course, you can complete the whole checklist. You can start working out and the endorphines will improve your mood. You can eat healthier and you'll eventually feel better.
Although these little changes might work for some people, (I have met so many people claiming they have tried tried 'everything'! They forgot to change their attitude sadly.) I think the best way to fight depression is to do exactly the oppostie of what it's telling you to do. No matter what you're going through, stay positive and remember you're not alone. There is help, even if it might seem hopeless.
A cloudy day is no match for a sunny disposition. And just because you're having a cloudy day, that doesn't mean that tomorrow won't be sunny.
I'm here for you whether you're having a cloudy or a sunny day. :) You can either post in the Depression section or send me a message and I will answer as soon as I can.
@goldenPalm71 What a lovely message, I can definitely relate to it! Thank you for offering your time here to listen.
@justanemptynobody I also prefer the dark honestly, feels normal for me. I just like trying out that whole "happiness or silver lining" business. Shakes things up and keeps things interesting I suppose.
@goldenPalm71 Well posts are meant for everyone! @justanemptynobody was offering his own perspective, nothing wrong with that and it certainly doesn't take away from yours.
