Their's Not Always A Correlation With A Person's Quality Of Life And How Happy They Are

Their's not always a correlation with a person's quality of life and how happy they are. Some people are fortunate in many ways and have a quality of life that others only wished they had. But that doesn't necessarily mean they're generally happy in life.

On the other hand, their are those who have had it hard in life. Yet many of them are quite happy.

Why are they happy?

One reason is because they have a balanced brain chemistry.

And the other reason is because of their attitude, their belief system. They look at the positives in life.

So if you've had it hard and are currently depressed, you can become happy even if you've had it hard. Psychiatric medications can help you balance your brain chemistry and help make you feel better emotionally. And a psychotherapist can help you become more of a positive thinker.

I agree HT!

Mike, meds help me tremendously! CPTSD has caused a chemical imbalance in my brain, not to be reversed.
I have tried to reduce my depression med, only to spiral drown in 3 days. Even changing the time on 2nd does in afternoon, to am, spirals me down.

I struggle with my Faith, at the same time, I believe in some spiritual way, connected way, I survived hurrendence circumstances to help others in some way. Have not actually found that "way" yet.

On the whole I am a positive person. Having dogs has a lot to do with that. Also, my "mantra" ~I have been through worse I can get through this~ has calmed since my 20's

Never, ever give up. Sometimes, it is incredibly hard, surprisingly we succeed.

Peace

My deepest of condolences chotti. HT.

Chotti, I wish you peace and comfort.

Chotti - I'm so terribly sorry for your loss. That is very hard. I agree that a grief forum would be beneficial here. I lost my mom and am slowly losing my dad... feel lost most days myself. You're not alone.
