Having 'Fun'

Postby angelinbluejeans » Sun Jun 19, 2016 11:09 pm

Thinking about our lives and all, what makes you happy or gives you happy thoughts? Mine would be thinking about the future, falling in love [those kind of things].

Sadly, I have kind of lost the ability to have fun.

Everything seems like just another ordeal to get through.

Nothing makes me happy and what I consider fun is only wasting time so I don't have to deal with anything else.

I empathize with the people who said they can't have fun and nothing makes them happy. I'm in the same boat. I can't remember what happiness or fun feels like and nothing I do makes me feel really "good." However, I'm trying to learn to identify and focus on the positive feelings I have, even if they're teeny tiny. For example, you could say I "enjoy" watching anime. At least, I prefer it to lying in bed doing nothing but crying. On some days when I actually have an appetite, you could say I enjoy eating food. At least, I prefer it to eating nothing all day and becoming shaky and anxious as a result of not eating. I enjoy sleeping, if not at night then after about 4am when my insane freaky dreams quiet down a little. These things are a start at least. I hope that the more I focus on small positive emotions, the more of them I'll be able to feel. I hope.
