Dysthymia

Dysthymia, they told me, is a choronic mood disorder that falls within the depression spectrum. It is when the person diagnosed (me, surprise) esperiences a low or depressive mood for the majourity of days for at least two years. Symptoms are hopelessness, pessimism, poor self image, decrease in appetite. The list goes on. Lets take a moment and tear this apart, though.
All moods can only co-exist amongst eachother. One cannot be without the other. Yes, maybe I do fit this vague criteria for dysthymia. Why say it like it's a bad thing?
If someone can feel so apathetic, angry towards, hateful, unhappy with, so many aspects in life, imagine how much passion and love they must have for those few things that do make them happy. If you can feel this degree of low, somewhere in there you must feel the equal in some form of high mood. The few people I love, I have so much love for. The things I write, the music I listen to, the things I enjoy to do, I put my all into. Perhaps they are few, maybe my mood is more often unhappy then not. I embrace it.
Those who can find happiness in each day, in every small insignificant thing, amaze me. Not in a jealous oriented "woe is me, why can I not be that happy" manor either. I just cannot understand how they can have this low grade, repetitive one track emotion towards the majourity of things in life. Mediocre levals of happiness never appeal to me.
Yes, I have an abnormality about me. No I do not need therapy. I have accepted that this is how I am, and enjoy it. Being this way gives me a realistic outlook on the world I'm in, allows me to feel deep love for the few things that I want to, and helps me to apprieciate the right things in life. Don't tell me I need help, shove your PHD as deep down your throat as possible. I am how I am and that's how I like to be.
