am on mobile. forgive lwrcase and shorthand. and typos. about depression not being the same as happiness, I think that goes both ways. not only does feeling unhappy not equal depression, but being depressed does not, ime, equal unhappiness. for example, when I was depressed, there were times when I was a happy person but still suffering from depression. like I still understood myself as happy, but the depression was still in charge. I hope i'm making sense. it is a subtle but important difference, imo. I remember being really pissed off when someone mistook my depression for unhappiness. they said something like, "you are a very unhappy person," and I was madbecause I wasn't unhappy, which was somehow worseb in my mind, but being run by the illness if depression. make any sense?
