Is there any way to stop being sad long enough to do something worth being happy about?
Hey you around for a chat? I have an hour I can share to explain my experience and what I learned from it to help you out.
If you find yourself sad for that length of time, see a psychiatrist, and a therapist, because you're almost certainly suffering from clinical depression.
