Bob,
I'm new here and I have many questions about what can and can't be done when it comes to moods. I understand feeling somewhat flat about things that we seemingly should be "up" about. I'm not sure we have control over our zone of joy. I want to be positive about situations, but the reality of depression, makes that very difficult, at best. I would be interested in knowing how others "cause" themselves to feel more excited. In touch with our emotions? Most emotions for me just seem blah. It seems that the best I can do, for the moment, is to feel indifferent. As much as I know they (the experts) say we can't just snap out of it. How I wish I could. You too, I'm sure. Too bad there isn't a light switch to turn the desired emotion on or off. Hey, if I find a way to order that zone of joy, I'll let you know, k?! Hang in there, and smile...it makes others wonder what you're up to.
