This is a cute post, but I know there's serious meaning behind it. I hope you find your missing happiness. I found this quote that had a lot of meaning:



And I'm sending this special delivery until you find your happiness.

If I see even a little bit, I will be more than happy to share and send it your way! Maybe it will all add up?
In all seriousness, I hope you find your old self and happiness soon.

Thanks guys

Wasn't sure how people would take it. Don't really know what I meant by it, just I guess that I feel like a different person and I wish I could get rid of this depression. It sucks when on a gorgeous sunny spring day like today walking the dog, I can't appreciate the beauty of nature blooming around me - I see it, but I don't see it if you know what I mean. It stays superficial and has no effect on how I feel, like it used to.

Lynn - that's a really beautiful quote. Thanks for sharing!

If I see a happiness-butterfly anytime soon, I'll catch it and share it online with all you PC guys struggling the same way I am

I really liked your post and I think it describes very well, how depression can make you feel like a different person. I liked the humorous way you wrote it. Wouldn't it be great if there really was a happiness pill with no side affects. I also like your name and avatar - the weeping willow reminds me when I was a kid. My brother and I used to go down by the river and skip stones, then sit under the weeping willow tree. I liked the sound it made when it was windy. I hope you can reclaim your happiness.

Good luck, WeepingWillow23.

weeping willow, it's lovely to hear that you were once THAT person! That means you can get it back, right??

I'm sure with time and effort (and the right help) you can work your way back to the REAL you, and enjoy those sunny days again.

*hugs*

Lovely post, I know you are sad but you show creativity, maybe that is something that can help you through this. Can you get back to your crafting maybe?

Yeah I've always loved being out in nature; it really soothes me when I'm stressed. I've always had a special affinity for the Willow tree, it being my name and I've always loved how it gracefully leans over the water. Reminds me of dipping my feet in the lake near me, under the shade of the willow tree, hearing the leaves whisper in the wind... *bliss*

I sure hope so!

Thank you. I still continue to craft. In fact a friend has been teaching me to crochet and I've just finished making a blanket for my sister's dolls. I try to stay occupied and do the things I used to enjoy even though I don't currently enjoy them in the slightest. Though it's hard as my tremour (side effects from meds) have reduced my manual dexterity for fiddly crafts, and I tire easily.

It's almost seen as a crime if I don't keep at it - Lynn's quote said about allowing the butterfly to find us, but if I'm not out with my net searching all day every day, it's like I'm asking to be depressed according to Pdoc & family.

Anyway, thanks guys
