I had a fun day but I’m miserable. Why can’t I just be happy for a change? I’m working so hard in therapy but I’m still unhappy and lonely. And it’s not a big deal, but I tried curling my hair tonight and it didn’t turn out that well and it was like the last straw on me holding myself together. I want to be happy

@Student_girl Maybe instead of lying it might help then to accept that fact that you're not always gonna feel good maybe? Like even when your happiness fades it's alright, because you were able to feel happy in the moment so you can feel that way again, there's no solution to just turn off your depression so I don't want to give you false hope but I will say to just try and enjoy the moments you do feel genuine joy even if they're temporary
I’ve been lying to everyone around me for years about being happy. It doesn’t help me, but I’m glad it has helped you.
Sometimes you have to lie and pretend to be happy to actually feel happy, eventually the lie will become the truth but until then as long as you keep trying and surround yourself with things you enjoy it can help lessen the pain bit by bit
