"Smile and the world smiles with you, frown and you frown alone"
Do you agree with the sentiments of this song and how do you think it relates to depression or anxiety?

I have to say that my mother-in-law was what I would call a "whiner" and quite possibly the most negative and "miserable" person I have ever known (apart from my stepmother ...) and she refused to even try to get any help for her ? depression ? and in the end I avoided her for my own sanity ... I am not "proud" of that, but my relationship with my SO was suffering too, as we couldn't agree on how to handle her ... We both ended up literally banging our heads on the floor after one of our visits to her ... I suggested she saw her doctor or saw a counselor about her issues (?) but she refused to

My question turned into quite a vent huh

Take care,
