Are You Happy?

RE: Are You Happy?
Have you met me?

Oh, and my dog died.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

Better these days. I've been struggling with depression and feel like I'm climbing out of it.

I keep meaning to buy it, but because I'm working on four different novels in four different genres, my reading plate is full at the moment; IMO- the best writers are the best readers. Also, how's the second book coming along?

Thanks for asking! My second book is done. I have put it aside for now so I can work on two other books. My first is selling as much as I expected it to and I will do a marketing push with it before the sequel comes out. Don't worry about buying it. Just wait until I do another giveaway, if you have a Kindle.

That's great! Congratulations Smile

I do have a Kindle. I'll be on the lookout!

I was depressed for most of my life, and it wasn't until I stepped out of the christian bubble that I became happy and joyful. It was as though a huge dark cloud had lifted, and I could breathe again. Life is beautiful. Smile

I've struggled with major depression all my life, and it's recently come back pretty intensely, but even so, overall, my life is getting better as it progresses, and I'm in general happier than I was during my childhood and adolescence. It helps that I am no longer as cynical as I was as a child and I have rejected my childhood nihilism. Yes, I was a nihilist at 8 years old. I was a very unusual child.

Happy? Sure!

I've got my lovely Luckie around a lot, a novella that's almost finished and an idea for my next one that I'm excited about, and the tailing edge of summer gives me plenty of excuses to stay in air conditioned comfort and write. What's there to dislike? Big Grin

RE: Are You Happy?
I used to be depressed all the time during my middle school years, I even literally considered suicide because I was bullied a lot in school and not to mention my mother had gotten very sick during those times. She stayed about a week at a hospital so I was more sad and not knowing what has happened to her (she ended up having diabetes). My brother and father felt like giving me advice wasn't enough so they sent me to a therapist, at first it didn't really help even with medication nor that therapist's advice so I went to a different therapist. This therapist had given me better advice and he in a way related to me since we both liked anime and video games so that was pretty neat.

It wasn't until 11th grade when I finally overcame my depression and stopped giving a damn by not letting people that "hate" me get any kind of satisfaction from me. I gained confidence and cared mostly about passing my classes, besides I do have a few close friends to this day that care about me and my family of course. So am I happy today? Well in a way yes, college life has been a little stressful but it's nothing I can't handle. It feels great though, not being depressed anymore.
