How can I make myself happy?!
Question: I have a wonderful boyfriend, two healthy children, a great job and so much more. I was in an abusive marriage for 3 yrs and I know that relationship killed the crazy, happy go lucky person I was. God has brought me through so much. I am truly blessed with everything I have been given. One thing I feel missing is my happiness. I wake up and it's just another day for me. I want to wake up with a huge smile every morning like I use too. Does anyone have any suggestions? I don't want to take happy meds...I take enough meds for health reasons.

You've been through a lot and no one can blame you for not being as happy as you could be. You need to realize that you have a great life, you have God, and you are grateful for everyday you have with your family. Try taking some time for yourself every once and a while or take up a hobby you enjoy. If you can't get any happier you could be depressed. Try talking to your doctor about anti-depressants. Even if you don't want to take more medication it might be necessary if you do have depression. Wouldn't you rather take one more medication and be a happy person again than be depressed? Try talking to a therapist as well because maybe they can get to the root of your unhappiness and then you can work toward becoming a happier person.
