I was talking to my T and we both came to the conclusion that I've never felt "happiness".

Of course, I've experienced moments of having fun or being glad about something, but apparently, happiness for me is just the absence of depressive symptoms; it happens due to something external. It's never occurred internally or organically in me like it apparently does in people without depression.

I'm kind of glad that I've made a leap in my therapy by figuring this out, but kind of bummed that I've never felt a certain emotion the way a huge chunk of the population has.

Has anybody else ever felt like this?
