    Everyone may "look happy" to you but everyone is NOT happy. However, if your daily sadness has lasted longer than a couple of weeks, you need to tell your doctor. You may be suffering from clinical depression and need some medical help to get beyond it.

    Medical help is not necessarily "a pill"...it could be short term counselling. Believe me, I am with you re: prescriptions but even that, is a better alternative than suicide, which is the extreme end of "feeling sad everyday". When "sadness" lasts for weeks, months or even years, it can become unbearable and I would not wish that on anyone! :(

    Your probably dealing with some Depression issues. Figure out what is causing you this sadness because there has to be a reason why you are feeling this way. Some people aren't necessarily happy, maybe they try and remain positive or they just cope with their own problems better than others.

    Getting older helped me. You'd think it would be the other way around.

    Everyone else isn't happy. They're just putting on a good face. Do you have someone to talk to who is a good listener ?  If not, get counseling. In the mean time......go out for walks, go to the show with friends, play with you pets, do some work around the house and yard., pray, And everytime you have a negative thought, turn it around into a positive thought.. We are here for ya.

    you are my favourite person on aka and i think you are the sweetest..

    Sounds like depression to me or a form of it.  I’m depressed when I’m not medicating. You can be helped. Start with your family doctor…….

    Did you vote for Obama ? Most people that did feel like you , they say.

    very funny

    I think you have Depression also. I had it for years and the thing that helped me the most was exercise and dancing. Sometimes it was just a short fix but I made myself do it. How's  the weather where you are?
