I agree with you 100% NICO and it is one of my philosophies of life. It's a yin/yang thing! If you were never sad, how would you even know when you were happy? You could be happy right now and not even know it! I am a firm believer in that our own happiness is our own responsibility. That's why I have that quote in my signature. But it is so hard to keep in mind when you are hit by depression, and depression makes EVERYTHING seem negative or at best, numb.

>>try and break the routine, do somethin safe but scary.

That is a great idea! Maybe that's why I like rollercoasters so much!
