Ah the joys of the self-appointed self help gurus. "Did you know it takes blah-blah number of muscles to frown but only yadda yadda number of muscles to smile? So smile, it's easier than frowning!"

"Fake it until you make it." Aka pretend you're "happy" and you'll cure your depression.

There are crumbs of truth in a lot of that stuff. I'm sure we've all learned lots of self help coping strategies. But dammit, when you're struggling to just get through the day, that crap gets so old, so fast.
