Original, practice smiling at yourself in the mirror every time it is in front of you or when you see a mirror in passing.    Smile at yourself.    Often our feelings follow the pattern set by our face.    Also, a smiling face not only draws other people and their smiles, smiling faces draw good fortune.   Smiling faces are magnetic.

Original...
You need to hang out with me more! I'm rarely sad. Truth is, I have no tolerance for signs of depression in myself. I said "myself" for those of you who have depression. When I start getting into that mentality I look at the world around me and think,"I made it. I managed to get older than 30, I have a place to live, a job, am able to do basically what I want. That's more than most people have their entire lives." Then I kick myself good and snap out of it. People should spend more time appreciating what they do have and less time thinking it's never enough. Because...it's never going to be enough for those who think that way.

I don't know what ever happened to joy either. Once I had a very happy, normal life full of fun, peace, love and laughter. Then one day, without warning, it all collapsed. That was 4 yrs ago. I've lived somewhere between depressed and suicidal since that Christmas Day.

It feels like I'm enveloped in a blanket of darknesss most days. Well, guess I didnt do anything to improve your mood and I'm so sorry for that. Yeah, the world is a fucked up place.
