agreed.
i also think the more concerning issue is the belief so many people hold dearly to that the opposite of depression is a feeling of elation. happy is NOT the opposite of sad. not being sad is the opposite of sad.
so many people and so-called professionals seem to be pushing this ideal that we're all supposed to be HAPPY all the time and everyone should be farting sunshine. it's insane. that's not balance. it's forcing one extreme over the other and doesn't actually deal with any legitimate issue.
