    yeah.
     
  4. i get like this too, never really "happy" but more like a tired/serious mood all the time, i just get some caffeine in the day to get me a lil jolted makes me more 'awake' and talkitive n happier. but thats like artificial happiness too but easier to do in public then blazing lol
     
  5. Yeaaa I feel you, people even tell me I have a grump face. I'm not really grumpy or happy I'm just... Chillin. But you're right idk how people can just be so like positive 24/7. And act it out too, even when I am happy I'm not like.. "I wanna shout my feelings from a mountaintop!!"
     
  6. People fake being happy when they are around others. Everyone gets down sometimes..how else are they to know what happiness feels like.
     
  7. I feel you man I have similar states of being.

    I am generally neither happy nor sad. I cruise on at an average state of wellness.

    I just get all the shit done that I do not enjoy on a day to day basis then play music or do activities that I enjoy... I suppose you could call this life.
     
  8. If you have air in your lungs. And you aren't some poor starving kid in Africa.....

    How could you not be
     
  9. Because there are poor starving children in Africa and other such things and I feel it man, I feel it. Catharsis is a heavy thing. Hah, just fuckin.
     
  10. I used to be like that. One day, I just woke up, and decided to be happy.
     
  11. artificial happiness? smoking bud has made me realize what 'true' happiness is.

    like its not reall its only there untill the high wears off then I would be the same. it makes you realize a lot of things though
     
  13. Ya, if your happy when you smoke weed, thats artificial happiness.

    I suggest you step your game up though, you should start using speed and smoking bud, it will be like a unbelievably intense rush of happy chemicals flowing through your body, nothing but pure ecstasy and joy, your jaws will be fucking locked in a smile from how happy you are. Your body will be stimulated, tingling, with the sensation of pure pleasure.

    It feels like biting into a york peppermint patty.

    Ya, thats a better example of artificial happiness. But still, if you get happy from smoking bud, its artificial.
     
  14. Well sometimes we have to create our own happiness. Enjoy the little things in life, work hard, play hard, always be willing to work at improving your situation, and find a peace in the things that you cannot change. These things will go a long way towards making you happy.

    In my opinion (excluding clinical depression and certain other neurological problems of course), happiness is just a state of mind. We find it within ourselves, not in material things.
     
  15. im the same bro
     
  16. Hmmm "clinical depression" ehh?

    So you mean, if I went to a psychiatrist, and told him im sad and lethargic all the time, and he says I have "clinical depression".

    Then happiness is not just a state of mind that I find within myself, and is just a emotion found through material things, like pornography, and drugs that re-uptake my serotonin.

    ?

    I get what you saying perfectly.
     
  17. Maybe, maybe not. Clinical depression is a real thing, dependent on the levels of serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain. Just because you're sad and lethargic doesn't necessarily mean you have clinical depression. Just because you're diagnosed as such doesn't always mean it's true. All I was saying is that clinical depression is different than just being sad, or not being happy. Plus, "material things" was more a stab at the idea that cool things and money will make you happy. That has very little to do with depression treatments. And to be fair, the stipulation of clinical depression was never made in the OP, so I wasn't basing my advice on that.

    Just like feeling physically good. Ask anyone and they will tell you if you take care of your body you will feel physically good. However if you break your leg, no amount of proper diet and exercise will make that better. But that doesn't mean for people who don't have a broken leg, can't feel good by taking care of their bodies in such a manner.

    And I would also like to point out that drugs aren't the only option to treat clinical depression. Diet altering, exercise, and therapy are options that do work for many people too.

    So, if medical professionals came up with the super legit brain disease called clinical depression, then how can you say some individuals diagnosis's of it aren't true?

    If a psychiatrist diagnoses someone with the disease they invented, using the diagnostic tests they invented, then they have a brain disease called clinical depression. End of story.





    But seriously, you either believe clinical depression is a legit brain disease, or you believe its fabricated bullshit, imagined by doctors who wanted to turn anyone with sadness, grief, and lethargy into a brain disease victim so they could profit from it.

    How can you stand in a gray area on the subject, you say its real, then you say the people that imagined the disease and imagined the diagnostic tests for it are sometimes wrong.

    They can't be wrong when diagnosing someone with clinical depression, ever, because its a imaginary disease that they imagined. If they say someone has it, then they have it.

    You can't be wrong when you make up the rules to the game you invented.

    The gray area stance you take on this subject is irrational. Its contradictory.

    I never said anyone imagined the disease. There is a big difference between imagining something and a case of misdiagnosis. Is it really that hard to believe that in this world where doctors get bonuses and all sorts of kick backs from big pharms that some of them (a lot of them even) don't push pills without taking the time and effort to ensure a clear, absolute diagnosis?

    I absolutely believe clinical depression is a real thing. I also believe many doctors are way too trigger happy when it comes to pushing pills, and sometimes forgo the carefulness necessary to get a proper diagnosis, in favor of their own personal interests. My stance is neither irrational nor contradictory. You just fail to acknowledge that misdiagnoses are a real and common thing and not even just when there's financial gain to be had by doctors from pill pushing.

    Take something that no one can debate is a real thing or not. Stroke. No one can argue that isn't a real thing. It happens all the time. Yet 14 percent of stroke cases in people under 45 are diagnosed as ear problems, migraines, or vertigo. From a personal case, my dad had colon cancer, he must have went through 20 diagnoses before the doctors got it right. Misdiagnoses happen. And it only gets worse when there is money on the line.
