I used to think that everyone in the world who appeared happy must be faking it. I could never understand the concept of happiness. I still don't understand the concept, but I guess some people must really be happy, given that they ask "why?" when someone kills themself. To most of us on Psychobabble to ask "why? would be absurd.
But a lot of people ARE faking it. It happens all the time that someone kills themselves and their friends, parents, spouses, therapists are shocked. You read about how they were "oh so happy", football heros or homecoming queens or whatever "with everything to live for". (Even if they were on antidepressants, people will then turn around and say it must have been the fault of the AD's. Ok, it may be true as the black box warnings say that AD's can increase the chance of suicide but give me a break, there was a reason the person was on AD's in the 1st place. Happy people are usually very skilled at denial. Cecilia
