    Life has crapped one me majorly. well my life is fairly good i have a supporting family plenty of friends and a loving boyfriend. so how is life crapping on me majorily. because despite all the goodness i still cant bring myself to smile. i cant make it through a single day with out trying and i have tried everything. on and off meds for 7 years, therapists, hospitals, doctors, different distractions, different therapies, relocating, i cant think of much i havent tried. except maybe one,
    ONE DAY AT A TIME has anyone heard of it they us it alot for addicts and chronically ill peopel. but how is it supposed to work. how am i supposed to just live day to day and go one day at a time. for the longes time i was stuck in the past and i have moved on now but all i can think is of the future. i dont even think much about today. how can u do one day at a time if u dont even have a concept of time. my days are all one long day that never ends. sorry if i am goign on and on but i just dont kno what to do i am willing to try anything. cuz this is getting old and none of it seems to work.

    If you want to smile, surround yourself with all things happy. not just people but music, movies, and the such

    nikolai lenin once said he had to stop listening to his favorite composer (beethoven) because it made him want to be nice

    Some scientists invented this really cool contraption. It's a kind of helmet that has these electrodes that stick permanently into your brain and send a constant low voltage stimulation to the area of your brain responsible for you feeling happy. This one woman was chronically depressed for 24 years, tried meds, had ECT done 7 times and after this procedure, she smiled for the first time in 24 years.

    As for myself? When I was feeling blue for about a year straight, I got out of it by taking things one moment at a time.

    I have experience with the one day at a time concept, for me it is relating more towards addiction, and i hate cliches, but i'll be goddamned if it doesnt work, whenever i started to look too far ahead, or think i had control of it, i fell, sometimes its not a matter of one day at a time, its hour by hour or even second by second, whatever gets you through, and it'll sure help if you can find at least 1 person to call and talk to when you are feeling the way you do, and onviously the more people you can trust and call the better, and i realize trusting in people is a hard thing to do, i still have a huge problem with that, without it, i dont wont to imagine where i might be right now, and it sure as hell wouldnt be typing this thread right now....
