When people say, "happiness is a choice", what do they think a person with depression is going to do? How are they going to take that? How are they going to understand that or conceptualize that?

Happiness isn't a choice for someone who's in depression.💙

There is no choice to look on a "happy side" of anything. Happiness doesn't exist. We're divorced from our feelings. We're divorced from happiness, gratitude, joy, love, things like that. The only emotion we might be left with is anger, frustration, irritation, annoyance, rage.💙

They're all basically the same emotion and that one exists because it's the person trying to get away from the feelings that are underneath that are more sensitive like powerlessness, hurt, loneliness, worthlessness.💙
