forget happiness, remember sorrow?

One of the problem is that I tend to forget sadness when I am happy.

I look around for questions to ask myself:
am I really mentally ill or just overly dramatic?
Was all that really traumatic abuse, or did I just think of it that way?

When I am happy, I tend to say that it's not that bad after all
or that it's not all that bad after all,

and when I am consumed by sadness, I forget the times I was happy. I doubt if it really is real or if I'm just brainwashing myself.

I'm convinced that enjoyment only existed as a plead for help from depression.

The sadness glued in my brain keeps wishing for hope, and that's where "happy memories" come from.

As a 15-year-old, I am struggling to define happiness and sadness.

What exactly makes me delighted? And what makes me absolutely devastated?

Just like love, I struggle to define who I am,
what is what,
and when am I going to learn all those things-or where can I even find them at all?
