Answer 1

Akkie,

Be careful not to get your signals mixed!

The opposite of sadness is not laughter! It is contentedness, being at peace with oneself. You have to be happy with yourself. Content with who you are and with your environment.

In itself a little sadness or unhappiness is not entirely a bad thing. For some of the greatest artists, authors and musicians a tinge of sadness (sometimes bordering on manic depression) has been a major motivational force in their lives.

This is my advice: Embroil yourself in doing work that you love, doing something that keeps you so busy that you don't have time to feel sad.

At the same time, if you feel that feeling sad is a major part of your life; If you cannot escape from the feeling of sadness; If you feel that it is all just to much for you; Or if you recognise that you have a problem - Then seek professional help right away! Talk to someone, a doctor, therapist, preacher or phone a helpline - but don't let it destroy you. It is common that people may feel sad and the reasons are many, but for a few people it just becomes too much and they need to take their problem to someone. Depression is a clinical condition that has reached epedemic proportions in our society. It is easily diagnosed and treatable through medication, therapy or a combination of both! If you feel that it is too much, then talk to someone. Please? (I have to say this since you gave very few details, you may be just sad since the sun has not been shining for a few days, but the same "I feel sad" could be a desperate cry for help!)

Keep your life so busy that you won't ever have time to feel sad!

Bear this saying in mind:

If you want to be happy for a few seconds, smile at a stranger.
If you want to be happier for a few seconds longer, let a stranger smile at you.
If you want to be happy for ten minutes, eat chocolate.
If you want to be happy for an hour, drink a beer.
If you want to be happy for a few hours, go out for dinner.
If you want to be happy for an afternoond, play golf.
If you want to be happy for a day, read a book.
If you want to be happy for a week, go on a holiday.
If you want to be happy for a year or two, get married.
If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, love your job!

In other words, do the work that you love to do and be so busy that you never have time to be unhappy!

Answer 2

I notice that some people would tell you to socialize but I am thinking, with the crowd I have met when I felt that was the remedy to me feeling lonely that the only people I attracted were creepy needy clingy types. So!!! I will suggest some things you can do that will strengthen your ability to enjoy your own company and I promise you as well as any fairy God mother can this time of year that they work if you give them a chance. #1, keep a journal. Remember that your thoughts work as a magnet to attract the same into your life. You don't need euphoric happiness every moment, pleasant contentment is enough but I would keep a journal so that when you are feeling better you can read what your thoughts dwell on and what you are attracting. #2, Take an interest in detective novels. Don't dwell on sad as much as a puzzle that devotes your time to figuring out how someone saves another from harm. I would suggest another solution to your sadness but this is rather harsh. Go into a hospital for volunteer work for a couple days a week and see what people your age must struggle with physically to overcome. People with leucemia, victims of drunk drivers, little kids who don't understand mommy isn't there and the nurse is poking them with needles. Sometimes we must face our sadness by noticing that there are others who need our ray of sunshine more than we need to hang on to sad thoughts. Be that ray of sunshine to those who need a compassionate face despite their pain or learn to be your own ray of sunshine. As poor struggling people sang to themselves during the depression and money and necessities were scarce, "look for the bright side and stay sunny inside". If you were in Kansas I would take you on a walk along the streets when it snows here as it comes down pale pink and is the most cheerful sight for me at Christmas. And it is free. Many Blessings
