Losing One's Cheerfulness

In the SHM Community Forums, Manuel shared his thoughts with one forum member who wanted to know why did he change from a happy person to cynical, socially unfit, angry person. He said:

Sarah,

I also want to welcome you to these forums and can completely understand your wanting earlier, simpler times. Its normal to want the peace of innocence.

If you are plagued by the recent past, you have many choices open to you. Depending on the issue, you might be able to find a support group in your local community, call that help line more often, and maybe even go through it again here or with a trained professional. If you can't bring yourself to do it here, as Joanne suggested by reading related topics and commenting upon them to ease you into it, then consider your alternatives. Some epeople find themselves creeping into a low grade depression that they do not see or understand, but only feel.

Living the life you describe is not easy. Getting help may seem like a challenge at first, but this can be made netter, whatever your situation, and even if you don't want to give us details anonymously here. It's up to you.
