Hi Friend

I can very well relate to what you feel when am advised. the one thing that used to make me mad is when someone says " snap out of it". i tried so many things and when they didn't work out i become even more frustrated.

the fact is when you watch comedy you have to laugh. that's normal. but when you are depressed your mind is so clouded that you are unable to laugh or enjoy. i always blame this on brain chemicals. when they don't secrete you can't laugh or enjoy a comedy. for normal people it automatically secretes that they don't know what it's like to be devoid of these brain chemicals. sure they have sad moments but when they distract themselves they get these chemicals to get them out of the sadness. unfortunately we can't get enough of these brain chemicals.

everytime someone tries to uplift our mood we end up frustrated because we just can't. and our mind torments us with why we can't.

i struggled a lot because of this, thinking and trying everything that i came across. then i made peace with myself. i still try to find to fix but am not tormented in my mind.

when someone gives me advice i thank them for it and say am doing my best.
