Answer 1

One night, I laughed myself right into a HERNIA! For real.
I had to have a herniotomy, and a person could die from an operation, right?

I laughed so hard, I was bent over; I know what it means to say, "I laughed so hard, it was killing me." It REALLY HURT. I couldn't sit up straight. I was bent over my knees, and everyone thought I was just kidding, because I was still laughing, but the PAIN was EXCRUCIATING....

The tears were RUNNING down my face, and I kept saying, "Stop. Stop making me laugh. You're killing me. It hurts!" It was really hysterical, funny and scary at the same time....

(Also, if you're speaking of "depression," as opposed to sadness, then you're speaking of "mania" as opposed to plain happiness, and a person definitely can die from behavior in the manic state. Sure. A person is even more wildly desperate, in a way, when manic. I had a friend who used to direct traffic in the middle of Fifth Avenue, poor baby!!!!
'Didn't get killed, but could've, right?)

Oh, DUH! I just thought of something. I almost killed my own brother. He and I have ASTHMA! When we either cry too hard or LAUGH too hard, we CAN'T BREATHE. It's on and off with me, but my brother has it really bad, and it was so hard as a child to obey, "DON'T MAKE YOUR BROTHER LAUGH." Annnnnnnnnnnd, I WAS NOT trying to kill him!

So YES, MANIC happiness CAN KILL,
and YES, one can O.D. on LAUGHTER, (but I still laugh thinking about that night)....

You can't have too much of a good thing. No you can't die from an overdose of bliss. Ecstacy maybe (in pill form). The natural highs don't kill you. The natural lows (depression) don't either. It's what you do with them. So I suppose if you're so happy you thought you could fly & jumped off a bridge then that would kill you, but it wasn't the happiness so much as the irrationality. Just as depression may motivate you to jump off the bridge. It's not the depression that kills so much as the jumping. Bottom line is that you take the action, you make the decision. Emotion may be a motivator but you are still choosing to act on it. You can choose not to as well.

I have been suffering from post partum depression for the past one year when I gave birth to a baby boy. I couldn't stop thinking about how my husband loves him more than me and how things might be better if he wasn't born at all. Thus, I stayed away from him because I knew that I might do something I will regret for the rest of my life.

Almost instantly I went to a therapist and convince them that I need help. Among other things, I've tried herbal supplements and other book to treat depression but nothing works like the Depression Free Method. So now I'm proud to say I'm one of the happiest mother in the world. My husband loves us both very much and I thank the Lord for the blessing he gave us.

Depression Free Method?

Answer 4

Well, an excess of anything can be dangerous, no matter what. Laughter can certainly stop some opponents in their tracks and spin them off their charger. I used it often. But if they learn from it, that doesn't kill them - though they might want to kill whoever laughed. So that could be fatal. But I wouldn't say it was an overdose. Sadly, depression's different. It can certainly be fatal, and it can be difficult or impossible to deal with (without help anyway) - so I'd say one could overdose on that. And I don't think most pop songs help. They always seem to be grizzling about something, it seems to me. Or thumping chests like aggressive gorillas. Usually by people who really have nothing to grizzle about, and would fall over backwards if anything really dangerous confronted them. But I might be a grumpy old man - Ho Ho Ho. That's the happy privilege of age!

Please, please,please find a doctor you trust and get him or her to help you find the right med to be on. It's ok to rely on a medication to help you feel better -- especially when you are this down. I was diagnosed with depressed in the early 90s. I visited a psychiatrist once a week for three months, then twice a month for three months. Also, for a year I was on Prozac. I was suicidal before that -- I skipped school (college) all the time and was at risk of failing out. The medication made a HUGE difference in my life. It helped me "cope." And, after a year of taking it, I was able to learn to live without it -- so, you may not have to be on meds for the rest of your life. BUT, if you are, that's OK, too. I know it's difficult to understand why, when everything in life seems OK, things seem so awful and you just want to cry all the time. I get like that from time to time, too. Some of us have a chemical imbalance that makes us feel that way. Members of my entire family have to battle it all the time. However, you deserve to be happy and to have a good life -- and that may mean taking a little pill every day. Just like some people need a med for thyroid problems or blood pressure, you may need a pill for this. Regardless, though, for right now in the immediate future, you do need to get to someone and get some help. This is something you should not have to go through. There are wonderful physicians and counselors in the world who can help show you an entirely new life. Please, please, pretty please ask for help. There is nothing shameful or wrong in that.

persistant sort of tension is the cause of depression.
if you are in depression then nothing look nice ,everything looks dull.
so in this condition , happiness can not get
but
if you keep yourself happy i pray for you.
then you will defeat depression.
yes laughter is the best medicine when you laugh heartedly.
yes i use to watch funny movies, i go to the garden and i start walking with naked feet i feel myself a part of garden and this makes me happy and yes it is overdose when i stay long over there.
nowadays i am also depressed and physically feeling very weak because the company in which my principal has sent has very bad boys and they tease me and make me upset.
how long i can bear them ?but doctor was saying bear them you have to stay here for one month only.
actually i am not that sort of a person who loves to live outside the home.
i love to live at home and it is very hard for me to tolerate an environment full of guys doing sexual harrasment.
that is like a night mare for me.
i am waiting and waiting.
one day i also be happy.
but this is not the solution i have to make myself happy and kill depression.
have good evening its evening here.

Answer 7

Can Happiness Kill, as do Depression? I would say yes, because when someone is extremely Happy to see a member of the Family who they had not seen for at least ten years and if that person was very much Loved, if one of the Family Members is so emotional by seeing him/her, they can get a Heart Attack, and die, by their emotions.

Answer 8

Definitely. Being in a state of more or less constant happiness is similar to being in a state of delusion. You may be optimistic or simply overpleased but it ruins the perception just as depression does. And I'm sure it can kill you.

Answer 9

I do believe one can have an overdose of laughter ( you laugh till it hurts so bad:))) but I don't think tehre is such thing as an overdose of happiness:D

Answer 10

It has been related that strong laughter can make the heart weak. Also known that a smile can be equal to a charitable deed.
