I've been trying to remain positive, but with all the sh#t I've got going on, positivity ain't happenin'.

I guess trying to be "positive" reminds me of the fact I'm still depressed. It's like: "Nice try, kiddo... but you're still depressed!"

I'm trying not to be a fun sucker, but the more positive I think, the more of a fun sucker I become! Fun suckers are lame, and I don't want to be lame.

Hello, I kind of know how you feel. When I'm depressed I think positive thinking is a load of garbage. When I'm in a manic state, I think positive and just know it will help me. I'm Bipolar. When people tell me just think positive I just feel like laughing. They don't understand.
