Your happiest memory

[lexinonomous]

Anxiety can be a lot to deal with and sometimes, it can be tiresome explaining. Constantly focusing on your anxiety can cause you to become anxious (the ongoing battle!) Sometimes, it's nice to step back and take a look at the positives in our lives. I thought this thread might shed some light on our lives for a moment.


Happy memories are what I live for. I love looking back at amazing memories and times in my life where I was free from anxiety. Enjoying myself is seldom and must be appreciated as it comes.


What is your happiest memory?


Think back to the happiest time in your life- where were you? What were you doing?

The happiest memory I have was where I was just with my friends laughing and having fun. I like to think back to the happier times too. Being somewhere with my friends enjoying life and being free from anything was great. It's been a long time since we've even really had a lot of time together though. I guess lives get hectic and you can end up losing sight of what's really important sometimes, or losing sight of the things that will make you happier.

My happiest memory/memories were with all of the women I used to have relations with. Not the women themselves, but their kids. I love kids, and I used to play with there kids all the time, it made me feel like a father and I loved that feeling.


I miss all those kids from my past which makes them my most favored memories. Kids are great, and they also help with anxiety issues because you can't go wrong with little ones. They are always in the best mood by default until we adults alter them.

My happiest moments were when I had my kids but shortly after that the anxiety set in because I was worried that I would be a failure as a mom. I worried that something would happen to them and that I wouldn't always be able to protect them from the evils of the world. They have both grown into fine young adults who I am extremely proud of and when I look at them I know that I did something right. They are kind, respectful, independent, go getters and all around good people. My children and my grandchildren are my life. Having grandchildren makes for many happy days when I get to spend time with them.

My happiest moments were as a kid that was just careless of others. My family and other relatives would go to Disney World, Universal Studios, etc. and we would just have an adventure without a care in the world. That's when I was about in elementary school and was oblivious to the world and how messed up it is.

Well, this took me a good while to think about! I have had many happy moments but those happy times were short lived because of my depression. I think the most happy times in my life that I have experienced are the times that I have shared with my dogs. I can pick many happy memories to share about. One memory in particular that sticks out is when my dog Sasha had her puppies. All four of them were in a huge doggy bed in the middle of my lounge. They were sleeping and looked so peaceful. But then, one of them woke up. It was Podge, she woke up and looked around at her siblings and saw that they were all three fast asleep. She literally crept out of the bed, and I thought how sweet it was that she didn't want to wake them. How wrong I was, though, as she crept away from them, slowly tiptoeing away as she looked over her shoulder, keeping an eye on her two brothers and sister. When she had reached a far enough distance, she turned herself around and lined her self up with the bed full of sleeping pups. Then, with full force and by the speed of light, this boxer puppy ran and jumped on top of all her siblings. Her sister, Buttercup was really angry and growled in a most angry and frustrated growl that you ever heard from a four week old. While one of her brothers, Jeremy, thought it was hilarious and started to do the same thing. Her other brother just had an expression on his face that said 'Yep, that was quite funny huh!' Podge had me in stitches, bless her and it still makes me smile today when I think of how she planned ahead what to do to play a joke on her siblings. It's a lovely memory.
