RE: Diary of a Sad Boy: Sadness is not Depression
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I notice that whenever I am sad I really try to understand why and I honestly feel like I am learning quite a lot about myself. And besides, I feel like the rollercoaster of emotions is kinda useful to truely experience the good times.

You make an important point there: We can't really fully experience they joys in our lives if we never allow ourselves to experience the sorrows. Without the contrasts to offset each other, everything just becomes rather monotone.
That's why your wife says you have an undercurrent, not a full on raging river where the good times are far and few in between the tragedies. Why I said earlier on another post I highly doubt I'd grab onto free tickets, it'd just be my luck. Seriously.
You are right about them handing people medications, here, take this, you'll feel better in no time. To me at least there is no happiness pill. From a lot of what I've experienced from people taking the happiness pills is it's not really the pills, they find a new partner, job or environment that somehow made them feel better.
