So one of the side effects of depression is loss of excitement. Well this has become a problem for my hubby. He mentioned the other day about how I never get excited about things and it got me thinking... I do get excited but I am just not a flamboyant shower of my excitement. It doesn't help that I am in pain most of the time so I seem upset even though I am emotionally fine, just not excited. How do I get excited about things, and more importantly how do I show my excitement in a way that makes people believe that I am not dead inside?
I have really learned that it is hard. It took time for me to show excitement more on the outside as I fought depression. Really, you don't need to prove to anyone you aren't dead inside. You need to find that true joy inside yourself. I am not as crazy and flamboyant as I used to be. But I have really found the peace and happiness that works for me. You can find it, too!!
