I've learned that things are gonna happen whether you're happy or not. We can't stop life events, unfortunately. I've also learned that when you're happier and something bad happens, it allows you to deal with these things in a healthier way. Wishing everything the best✨🙏

"cherophobia", NICE! Every time I listen to Dr. DES I seem to learn something new, thank you!
Its very interesting how you say one can not be angry and happy at the same time. When I feel myself getting angry over nonsense (replaying something stupid someone said) I force myself to smile and think, in the grand scheme it doesnt matter

Pandemic, war, anxiety. I laugh and have fun in AA and at my work but I feel paranoid at the same time. Anxiety mass shootings social media it's just anxiety and I feel alone alot

Mmmm hmmmm!! A refresher from of the original post. Ahhh, now to create a cotton-tail moment this morning listening to Miguel Del Aguila, drinking some dark coffee with all natural clover honey as the sweetener, a bit of milk to serve as the creamer and the rest of the day ahead full of events unknown to me. Tres bein! 😄😄😄

My issue is that I have repressed memories but I have a knowingness that when I was showing my joy outward as a child, I was punished for it. Many years of sexual abuse by different family members but I only have maybe 3-5 specific memories over about 10 years!

That sounds awful and I am sorry it happened to you. Other videos you might be interested in can be found at kzread.infosearch?query=trauma
Have you investigated Roy Masters 7 minute Meditation? Is this useful? It seems to work.
We are going trough times ,when to be happy would be inappropriate . Actually I see people sill frighten or eventually looking for temporary escape , what is devastating in a long term . Question that's nature or nurture? From a biological point of view ,we are driven by surviving and reproduction needs ,not to be happy. Anyway persuading for happiness is like a chasing balloon or butterfly ,eventually life is like Irish summer ,which is stormy with some sunny splits .
I am a few minutes in to the video. I hope she goes into the shame response. I am ashamed and embarrassed by happiness. I can have moments of laughter and such, but it is the big events in life that I avoid. Dating is a no go. No parties. No get togethers. Christmas season is a bust, etc.
