Because people say the want to be happy does not mean they are obsessed.

I do not know what happiness is. I try to find meaning and purpose while functioning at a level I can accept. I take full responsibility for my choices and well-being. There have been times I was unable to go it alone. I needed help. I still use tools to help me maintain functionality.

If people want to experience depression to the fullest, to brood and ruminate, that is their choice and more power to them. It is not mine.
