he is right.

But that doesn't mean you will not be happy again. Happiness doesn't come in pills, and thanks god for that.

There are other means of finding happiness though... but that's in field of philosophy.

As for mood leveling, I stronly recommend Bach essencies (homeopathic-lite thing. All I know it works on me and it worked on several cats of mine. Made a stray cat sleep calmly through new year's fireworks. Calmed down my neurotic pregant cat... and yes, works on peeps too).
