Hello everyone, I'm a 22 year old and i've been fighting with depression since my early teenage years, its been a nightmare for most times and i was rock bottom in the most of my life. However, today, out of nowhere, i started to feel really happy and i cant stop smiling. I know it will not be like that forever but im okay with it. I have lot of stress on me about job, college and social life but somehow i just stopped getting negativity with thinking about them and it happened all of a sudden. Should i be worried about it? Is it just a phase in depression? Because i had these before like i became really happy and functioning for 2-3 months and hit rock bottom again, but this time its not like that because on top of happiness, i also have awareness. I realized that its too easy to just "be happy" instead of being sad. I realized being depressed, sad, suicidal and cutting myself is just my comfort and an escapism that destroys me. Its so easy to just be happy, my brain, my neurons and my feelings are there to serve me, why did i use them to ruin my life i just started to question it. Did anyone else experienced this before? I wanted to share it because i think its a huge improvement in my life~!
