You can't help but notice the increasing number of 'Be Happy' or 'Being happy for Dummies' etc books popping out for the last couple of years. It seems that every now and again, people are getting stressed and yes...depressed. Someone asked me how would you actually know if someone can be clinically diagnosed as depressed. Well, I am definitely in no position to answer that. To me, depression was like a constant dark cloud hovering around. Even when occasionally i see the glimpse of happiness and hope, I forgo all that just cause I 'think' more about the that ever hovering dark cloud. I was even confused as to why I can't feel happy about things that I should be. Like doing well at work, doing some baking...the happiness seems so short-lived. That was how I felt. My doctor told me it is because of 'chemical-imbalance' in my head which apparently i should know something about. Anyway, as pessimistic as I want to portray myself as, I think I like the happy side and childish side of me.
Somehow, when I read those books that tells me the steps to being happier..all of them do conclude to the same: Do always look at the bright side.. I keep having to remind myself that. So that perhaps one day at a time, the sky will become clearer and brighter for me.

if happiness is short lived then you should condition your mind to think that sadness/depression can be short lived too....i reckon that will be a very good start to conquer the imbalance.
not every human being is happy 24/7 then his life will be monotonous and boring. experiencing sadnesss bring some balance to life but if one dwell on it and sit on it it will, logically, linger on. do something about it insead!!!!!
Yes I agree with Sunshine... And like I always like to say "Think Positive++" Look ahead! Try and I am sure you will be happier, appreciate life better and you will then see the brighter side of life! :)
