trick to happiness

it's simple. forget about your problems and move on. well, not forget them but just know they are there, accept it and just live your life. i know it's not easy to do that but what is dwelling on your problems and pain going to do for you?

i know you all feel hopeless for some reason or another but you are bringing yourself down by not trying to do anything to bring yourself up. i am sure you have heard this a million times over agian but instead of just listening to it, ponder on it for a while and take action.

stop finding reasons to be sad. and stop trying to look for happiness in everything because you will not get happiness in everything you do. there are a million of people out there who feel the same exact way. you are going about happiness and viewing it in the wrong way. just sit back relax and it will eventually find you.

learn to be happy with who you are, what you are doing, and what you have got and it will be that much easier and your ARE NOT going to find happiness in cutting yourself.

I dont know why so many people think that cutting themself is going to somehow make everything better? stop with that bullshit, cutting may release some of the sadness but it is not going to make you happy...it will probably end up making you even more sad.

and don't say but you don't understand. i've been through some pretty tough shit in my life but i am not sitting around cutting myself and thinking everything is totally hopeless and talking about it on a poems site. i took action and found ways to be happy. it really isnt that difficult.

it's a pretty long one, cant you make it shorter? cus i wanna read it.. tnx..

that's why i broke it up into seperate paragraphs. i dont know how i can make it shorter. i got every point across that i wanted. sorrry :(

yo... Aya, ur madd dumb, that girl came straight across with her points, the best thing you could do is read it.... stop complainin, and take the time to read something that is encouraging, my goodness...

thank you.

i totaly agree wid u lisa cutting 1self is no solution 2 1s depression its only an illussion n unfortunately 3 out of every 5 kids doing it :(

cutting is stupid.

your welcome... lol

forgetting your problems doesn't really help, it will only make it worse, people who do actually cut are trying to forget their problems but trying to forget your problems only makes them worse in the long run

i said NOT FORGET THEM. but just know they are there and accept it.

I don't think it is really that simple, i mean we are talking about an illness here which might have an underlying cause. But aside from all that scientific crap, sometimes you just can't let go. I do agree with you though, cutting is bad and sometimes you just have to force yourself to move on when bad shit happens.

i know depression is a chemical imbalaence. but very few of these kids crying on this site are not depressed and are sad over petty little things.

I know what you mean, sometimes these forums are just used by people having a whinge. I think that's ok because everyone needs to have their say, when i'm in a good mood, but mostly i wish they would just go away. I think though a lot of people here have real issues and they are just asking for help and advice, and you seem to be suggesting that these people aren't depressed and can just get over things. I don't really know what i'm trying to say here, so i'll just go sit myself in the corner now.

oi lisa/ what the fuck do u know? cutting aint stupid. idiot.

hahahahahahahaha. what exaclty do you get from cutting? what i have realized is that real depressed people don't go around saying they are depressed and don't cut themselves.
