is everyone on this board so happy?

this happy/funny me is all a facade

im really

Cause we all love your avatar.

That's a very gooooood quesion darlin'. Have you ever seen thousands of frogs in a pond or a ditch? They act like they're happy, and they probably think that they are. But, what the hell does one frog or one perspon know when they are just an ignorant frog or person leaping over other ignorant frogs or people in a pond?

I am sure that we all have problems(I certainly do!) but I don't believe in airing my problems except to my poor husband!:lol: Well, I am a reasonably happy person. Is that a crime? :confused:

no. i just dont get why anyone is happy.

ya. It kind of baffles my mind.

I'm happy because I'm healthy, I have clothes on my back, shoes on my feet, a house, people who love me, food to eat, and my religious beliefs which i won't get into. You should be happy too; although you might think you live the worse life, there are billions of people out there who wish they were in your shoes instead of theirs.

What is so bad about being happy? Here's a kick. I'm pretty much at wits end. I'm jobless. Probably soon to be homeless. No one special to spend the holidays with. But ya know something; I'm happy. Why? Because I'm working towards solutions. I'm doing something. I'm not wallowing in self pity. I have a FAMILY that actually cares about me. I believe that if you WANT to make something happen. Think about people who right at this moment that are celebrating the holiday by eating alpo and living their cars or under a bridge. Most of you have your CD players and ipods to sit around and listen to. Most of you have warmth and a belly full of food AND a fridge to go to when you get hungry again. You're sitting in front of a 'puter whining about how ''unhappy'' you are. You must be kidding me.

I'm not cold or hungry. I don't have any bullet holes in my body. I like girls and they like me. Money is always a struggle but tomorrow is another day. Leave it to Beaver is still on televison. Yep. I'm reasonably happy.

Different people have different issues that make them unhappy. Just because we are fortunate doesn't mean that we must be happy. You don't know us and what our issues ARE.

go take a nap you damn crank. just because i have a house and food doesn't mean i don't have other issues. you don't know anything about me.

Yea everyone is so happy, that's what I thought ecspecially after reading the "I hate my life " and "I wanna die" posts.

Exactly! I'm happy because reading these pathetic threads make me realize that things could be alot worse. tell me, why r u all so 'unhappy', or do you just want some attention? i'm willing to listen...

LMAO. :lol: First you try to encourage me ("You should be happy too; although you might think you live the worse life, there are billions of people out there who wish they were in your shoes instead of theirs.") Then after reading my post in the boys thread you turn around and accuse me of wanting attention. Quite pathetic, quite pathetic.

Since you all think i'm such a spoiled brat who wants attention, then i'm sorry i'm naturally an unhappy person. Sorry that i inherited depression from my mom, and am struggling with several other mental/emotional problems. I'm sorry that because of this, i will likely end up in a mental home someday for the rest of my life. I'm sorry that my dad mentally and emotionally abuses me. I'm sorry that i lost my mom when i was 13 and all hell broke loose in my family. I'm sorry that every friend i have ever had has betrayed me, moved away, or died. I'm sorry that i have no self esteem and can't stand living with myself. I'm sorry that i've always been treated differently, excluded and judged by my peers, driving me to anti socialism. I'm sorry that no one thinks of me as a special person. I'm sorry that i have so many bad memories that will just never stop haunting me and make me feel like i've ruined myself. I'm sorry that i'm just a stupid little girl who would be better off dead than continuing living in this miserable world and hassling everyone else with my presence. You all who rag on me and say that's no reason to be depressed don't know **** about depression, what it does to you, or how i feel, and better just keep your goddamn mouth shut. People like you are partly what makes me so miserable, why i'm never excited to meet any new people. Because they always turn out to be just like you. You're almost homeless, i'm sorry about that. I never said my life can't get any worse, and i know damn well that it can. I AM thankful for what i have and care about others less fortunate. That doesn't automatically mean i'm happy, or an attention whore. :rolleyes: honestly, just keep your damn mouth shut. i have a right to express my feelings and frankly i don't give a damn what you think about it. go on and keep living your oh so perfect life by copying the older grrlz. I see a counselor and psychiatrist and take medication for my problems, but nothing seems to make it better. I'm just naturally unhappy and always will be. you (or pna42) obviously don't know a damn thing about emotional disorders or how i feel. not a god damned thing.

I use comedy and being a dolt to cover up my feeling like ****. Ya know, it's a known fact most comedians had a **** childhood.

THANK YOU. Really, there needs to be some kind of emotion education at school so people wont give others sh-t for not being as happy as they are. It really does show ignorance and inconsideration.

Make that two people who understand. My mom used to treat me like your dad treats you. It's gotten better, but the memories still haunt me. I know how damaging it can be emotionally and psychologically. I also understand the "friends" situation. I've been through that a few times myself.:)

Unfortunately, this world is filled with ignorance and hate. :( I'm trying very hard not to lose faith in humanity, but it's becoming increasingly difficult. My past situation may not have been as bad as what you and Sarah are currently experiencing, but I can still understand the pain it causes. Currently, my depression is solely the result of a chemical imbalance.

i think that every day. it enrages me the way people hear your problems, assume they could live with them, and think you have no right to be depressed or are just "wanting attention." :rolleyes: honest to god, do people really expect us to hold all these feelings inside?

That's why I feel bad even ranting about my problems...because I don't want to be judged like that. I still do, but I feel bad each time.

I have the same problem. I feel selfish complaining about my life.

That's the way i feel too. My depression is because of a chemical imbalance (which was probably inherited from my mom, who went to a mental hospital for depression when she was a little older than me) and i'm sure also because of everything i've had to go through. a year ago it all crashed down on me and i tried to kill myself. i tend to feel suicidal a lot in the winter during the holidays. it makes me feel so hopeless.

There have been at least five or six people on this damn board who have diliberately given me sh-t for complaining about my life. It doesn't matter if it could be any f-cking worse. That doesn't make it any better. :rolleyes: people are so damn stupid.

I'm so damn stubborn. When they don't, I just get more angry and nervous.

That's just like me. I've learned how to ignore people, but it's frustrating when i do.

simple because i feel like being happy

is your whole life about making fun of people who have more **** to deal with than you do? good god, i just answered my own question. *******:rolleyes:

I'm so 'unhappy' because I've been through a lot more **** than most adults have been through. I'm only 15, I shouldn't have to have gone through that... but you know what? I did. I did, and I cannot turn back my life and fix it, so I'm stuck with it. Maybe before giving **** to other people, you should know their problems.

no. i just dont get why anyone is happy.

Because obviously most of us don't suffer with depression. I suppose if we are not depressed then we can be happy! :)

for the record just because im a pretty happy person and try not let things get me down too much does not mean i dont get in a bad mood once in a while and i think that its good that some of you here are comfortable talking with us about your problems and kay scarpetta and safety pin and all the rest of you who have some problems dont ever feel bad about coming here to talk about them as far as im concerend you should be able to come here any time you want to . dont let people like pna 42 make you feel bad what might be small problems to some are very big problems for others and we have a wonderful support system here at so dont let a few people ruin it

same here.

both of you are welcome

I realize that u all think I'm ignorant for assuming that she wanted attention. The only reason I said that was because some people just complain about anything, but i didn't know u had all those problems. If I offended you, I'm sorry. But I'm not sorry for telling you why I'm happy and why you should be, because you asked me, and I gave you an answer. And the truth hurts sometimes, but that's that. I'm not ignorant, I know that depression is a mental illness that u can't control, but I didn't know that was what u suffered from. Since you do, I'm not angry at you for the rudeness and the name calling, because I know you can't help it, and i expect you to do it again. Have a nice day, and I hope the very best for you all.

Okay...thanks for apologizing...but....where the hell does name calling and being an ******* come into this? That's not what depression is.

I know that depression makes people angry, and when people are angry they do things like that.
