This morning I experienced some immense unknown sadness. 
It rendered me weak, it wouldn't let me out of bed.  And all I wanted to do was wallow in my own sorrows.
Go to sleep and never wake up. 
And I decided I just wasn't going to have it. 

These words echoed in my mind. 
I thought they were worth sharing. 
(Humans of New York posted it on their Tumblr years ago.)

Congratulations on choosing not to wallow.  I'm glad that you've chosen to take your happiness into your own hands.

This is good advice for pretty much anyone.  As someone who suffers from clinical depression, sometimes merely acting differently doesn't magically make me happier, but I have never once regretted going out and doing something instead of wallowing in depression.
