For me happiness is an inside job. Things I desire are not going to make me happy. The issue I have found is, why am I unhappy and what am I sad about. In order for me to sit still and really honestly look at my reasons why I feel the way I do about certain things. Sometimes thoughts are just thoughts and they pass away like clouds do in the sky. That does not mean I have to linger on or do anything with those thoughts. Looking at all the things I have to be thankful for when I get up..like having the ability to breathe, drink water, eat something and be grateful for the water I drink, the food I eat and there is so much more...the mind is a wonderous thing..also remember that the mind can be trained..and medicine, psychology and other things along that nature are not exact sciences and they have barely made a dent in finding out what makes the brain work. I myself look to the experts in Peace and tranquility and meditation for my answers..without drugs..and I started with the most peaceful person on earth I knew of and that is to me the Dalai Lama and how he does life. I followed the instructions on many of his books and how they barely have any mental illness in their midst and guess what..it works for me. One of the best books he has is on happiness and there are so many more...
THE ART OF HAPPINESS: A Handbook for Living
by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Howard C. Cutler, M.D.
Nearly every time you see him, he's laughing, or at least smiling. And he makes everyone else around him feel like smiling. He's the Dalai Lama, the spiritual and temporal leader of Tibet, a Nobel Prize winner, and an increasingly popular speaker and statesman. Why is he so popular? Even after spending only a few minutes in this presence you can't help feeling better.
If you ask him if he's happy, even though he's suffering the loss of his country, the Dalai Lama will give you an unconditional yes. What's more, he'll tell you that happiness is the purpose of life, and that "the very motion of our life is towards happiness." How to get there has always been the question. He's tried to answer it before, but he's never had the help of a psychiatrist to get the message across in a context we can easily understand.
Through conversations, stories, and meditations, the Dalai Lama shows us how to defeat day-to-day anxiety, insecurity, anger, and discouragement. Together with Dr. Cutler, he explores many facets of everyday life, including relationships, loss, and the pursuit of wealth, to illustrate how to ride through life's obstacles on a deep and abiding source of inner peace. Based on 2,500 years of Buddhist meditations mixed with a healthy dose of common sense, The Art of Happiness is a book that crosses the boundaries of traditions to help readers with difficulties common to all human beings.
Tenzin Gyatso, His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama, is the spiritual and temporal leader of the Tibetan people. His tireless efforts on behalf of human rights and world peace have brought him international recognition. He is a recipient of the Wallenberg Award (conferred by the U.S. Congressional Human Rights Foundation), the Albert Schweitzer Award, and the Nobel Peace Prize.
Howard C. Cutler, M.D., is a diplomate of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. He first met the Dalai Lama in 1982 while visiting India on a research grant to study Tibetan medicine. Dr. Cutler maintains a private psychiatric practice in Phoenix, Arizona.

oh gosh this is a hard question if you are like me Ive had pills since i was 15years old i am a grown woman with 6 kids now and i wont touch a pill no more yes pills help with your mood but they do not solve the problem 1st i would write a list of what is good in your life and what is bad in your life
then you might be able to see what is making you so sad
that would be part the problem that you could solve with someone that you could talk to
talking is a great help it may not seem that it would help but honest it does
i hope this has helped in some small way
take care
respect

The best way to get happy when you are really sad, you can do something that you really like. Ex. Your hobbies: playing games, or doing puzzles. You can also be alone and think about the situation.

Bugs Bunny never fails to cheer me up. I have a couple of Looney Tunes collections that are better than drugs.

get out and help someone else who is less fortunate than you. chances are you will feel gratitude. most people just are'nt grateful and lose perspective on life. there is joy and peace in gratitude.
