I wish I felt happy more often but lately I just feel flat. It makes me sometimes want to hurt myself but I’ve avoided that for now. I don’t want to go back in the hospital.

Staying happy for me has meant living simply and accepting my life as it is. I do like to trt to make improvements though. Working out helps.

When I was little I lived a very dreamy life that was a mixture of great happiness and great pain. I would develop the most intense crushes on girls. I was obsessed with whoever my crush was. I thought of nothing else. It hurt. But I still loved going on hikes on the weekend and exploring the countryside, like most of the boys my age. There was a lot of happiness in that.

Happiness is wen my thoughts, my actions and my dreams are in harmony.
Because of addiction issues I haven’t really been happy in a long time.

Yea meditative activities make me happy too sometimes.
They distract me from my problems and I go into another zone.
Good point…

We take energy for granted until we start to feel lack of it due to ageing or aps etc.
I want to do everything I can to keep energy flowing well because that does greatly improve mood, it is a major factor.

I don’t worry about things that I don’t have to. Yes, I check my bank obsessively, but I’m not really stressed over it- it’s just something I have to do. As for things going on around me, I ignore whatever I can get away with ignoring. So I stay positive by staying in my own little world where everything is fine.

When someone asks about happiness. I get reminded of a Japanese song we sang at church
In English translation…
What do u think that happiness is?
So I asked my question to the stars
Most important is for ppl to be friends
Said the star, with one accord.
Can’t be friends with everyone necessarily but I wish happiness for everyone. Lol. 
As elle woods says, happy ppl just don’t shoot their husbands.

@WhiteRaven I am so sorry you feel so flat. Please do not do anything to hurt yourself. I sometimes feel that way if I get really really worked up but then I realize I will just end up in the hospital again and I definitely don’t want that either.

@FreeLunch I love what you wrote about living simply and acceptance. That makes good sense. And working out does help! I agree! I am going to do so in a little bit here, in fact!
