My counselor said to squeeze every bit of happiness that you can get from any situation. There are so few, and the sadness is so deep, that your brain needs a break from the grief to give you time and space to heal.
Tony thinks it's crap, but I like the visual. I have trouble letting go and letting myself not be miserable for a moment. I am fine being depressed constantly.
Yet, I really do feel a little bit of happiness in my heart when I am hanging out with Jaal and when I am with friends. It is good, when very little is good right now.
