I feel you are depressed for some reason and that is the reason you are asking this. You should firstly understand what is the meaning of life and try to act accordingly. this will being you improvement. Life according to me is -
Life – it has a meaning and loving purpose - you just have to find your purpose and live it.
I believe every person is here for a definite purpose. Each person is special and valuable; that refers to me, you, your family, friends, in fact everybody! There is a loving plan for each of our lives here on earth and there is no such thing as coincidence. I don't believe that anything in life happens by chance and that every aspect of our lives points to something deeper.
You need to decide now to live for God rather than for yourself. You spend your life on Earth preparing yourself (as best you can) for death. I don't see death as a scary, negative experience, but birth into a bliss filled eternal life with God. I believe that this is something you have to consciously choose or not during your life on earth.
The meaning of life is for us to discover that we are true children of an infinitely loving and merciful God, to find out what our responsibilities are to our Creator, and to fulfill those responsibilities. Each of us is called to affirm, accept and develop the talents God has given us. -

Without more info as to what is going on to make you feel so unhappy, all I can say is smile like you feel it and you will begin to. Most problems in life are temporary and those that are not temporary are certainly resolvable given the right perspective and a little creativity. It's hard to do but stop dwelling on the bad and focus on the good.
I hope that tomorrow will be a better day for you...

Happiness is one’s mental attitude and the capacity to hold it for one’s sake.
It is an internal capacity to be happy with whatever you have or have not.
If your mind says with some specific conditions for your happiness, then naturally your mind longs for it, and until it attains, the mind is in misery and distress. And know for certain, our mind always set for some superior goal to our present status and caliber and struggle for it. As soon as it attains that, our mind set for another wish/want/liking/aspiration/goal whatever the junk word you put it, and started to be in ‘unhappiness’. For example, you love to have a brand new reputed car/ prestigious companion/ top level position, right now to feed your Ego fulfilled, otherwise you will feel inferior and offended. But some how, if your desire is not fulfilled for quite some time, you feel bored in life or think this life is meaningless one AND STARTED DISLIKING YOURSELF.
Am I right?
First, ask your mind why it is longing always for the other side of shore, which seems to be beautiful than the present standpoint.
And ask your mind is there such difference really exists existentially or is it the creation of our own mind. Because a rose is a rose, and a lotus is a lotus and both are wonderful in natures. You cannot deny one and accept other. If our dislikes come in the middle and we hate one flower, say lotus, it is the flaw of our mind and never exists in the nature.
Because, we know very well THERE ARE DIFFERENT PEOPLE AND VARIETY OF LIKINGS IN SELECTING A THING/ PHILOSPHY/ PLACES & PEOPLE.
So always question your mind, why it is unhappy. And even if you get that stuff/ person would you be happy for eternity? And ask your wisdom was there any person contended as such in his/her life in getting those stuffs/ person ever?
YES,
UNHAPPINES and DISLIKING ONE’S SELF ARE ALL ARISING FROM THE UNAWARENESS OF KNOWING OUR MIND AND ITS VAGUE FUNCTIONS. COMPARE NOT WITH OTHERS AND STRUGGLE WITH YOURSELF.
Be natural, live natural, think natural and talk natural.
BECAUSE, YOU ARE THE PART OF THE WHOLE NATURE.
My blessings!

Its natural to feel unhappy from time to time, life is highs and lows.
If you have felt like this for some time and have nothing in your life that you can pin point as causing the feeling,its probably worth visiting your GP, you could be depressed. No stigma in that, it happens, its an illness like any other and can be treated.
But the thing is, happiness is largely a myth, very few people feel perceptibly "happy" other than in particular pleasing situations. "Doing OK" is what most of us get by on, most of the time, so you might want to check your expectations.

Well the thing is this life is flickering like a drop of water on a lotus petal. This world is called Maya (illusion) and is temporary and full of misery. We are not these bodies, we are eternal spirit souls, part and parcel of the Supreme Soul, also known as Krishna, Allah, Jehovah, Vishnu, etc. We have to reconnect to be truly happy. The quickest way is to chant the maha mantra (the great mantra for deliverance from suffering and illusion. ) go to Krishna culture. for details and read Bhagavad Gita as it is By Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada- gives one the meaning and purpose of life and how to be truly happy. go to stephen-knapp. for e-book The key to real happiness.see DVD the Trueman show with Jim Carry to get an idea of what I mean about the world being illusion.

Try and focus on the good parts of your life, if you're physically fit, be thankful, if you have a kind nature, take comfort in the fact that you help other people, and ignore the idiots on this site who'll say nasty things just to make themselves feel better.
If this has been going on for some time I suggest you speak to a gp.
If you need a friend who wont judge you, mail me.
Best wishes

sometimes it helps me to think of a point in my life when I was feeling similar. It is a good reminder that I got through that and I will get through this. Then I start imagining where I will be when I begin thinking about how horrible I was feeling right now and how far I will have come...sometimes that even helps me figure out what path and with what discipline I will need to use to find happiness again.

Read every answer that people are giving you on this site.
You're not going to find a solution here, but you will find a huge variety of viewpoints that will maybe put things into perspective for you.
Every answer. Even the ones that come from people taking the piss. And judge accordingly.
Have a chuckle while you're at it.

Getting through those times and learning to think positively can be the most difficult challenges to overcome. There can be many factors bringing you down. It can be circumstances in life, tradegy, rejection, health problems, malnutrition, etc.
Sometimes it helps to find a friend to confide in. Other times, it helps to be alone and meditate.
We all have the rough times in life, but we learn from them. I don't ever want to forget any of my bad experiences because I learned how life can be as good as we make it. That sounds over used and trite, but there's nothing like experience and looking back on it. The sum of my experiences makes me who I am. I had hard times and good times. I now know better how to handle the hard times because I remember them.

Try to focus your thoughts on only positive happy subjects and when negative ones come up, stop them in their tracks. Make sure that every day you get some sunlight, do something for fun, do something to relax and do something that has meaning for you. Do something about the problems that you can do something about and let go of the others. Set some goals for things you want to have in your future and dwell on them, visualize them. If you are having physical symptoms of unhappiness like major changes in eating, sleeping, enjoyment of things you normally would enjoy, you may want to check in with your doctor to talk about it.
