Stand in front of a mirror.
Do you see a friend in that mirror?
Can you be your friend?
It sounds stupid to do that, but you need to look into yourself and tell yourself to make some changes.
And you need to realize that you have control.
If you think you don't, then you won't be able to do a damn thing accept, follow what other expect of you, because they have the control you could not conjure enough for yourself.
Your not weak, you just unaware that you can be strong.
No one in life can truly make you happy, it comes from within you. So, go find yourself, and love yourself as much as you can.

For what ever reason, you have chosen to ignore the warning signs of depression. Once you admit that you haven't done anything to overcome your depression, and thus your unhappiness, you start your comeback to happiness.

What do you mean, "Oh, that's BS."

Well, can you ever remember a time when you were very happy and also very depressed? You can't because it is impossible. SO there.

Why didn't you ask the right question, "How do I turn my life around towards happiness?" Because, right now, you're having fun feeling down. The endorphin level in your blood is rising higher and that's making you feel mighty good. As you start convincing your body you are really in the dumps, maybe it will make some more.

Well, gotcha hands on the steering-wheel but lack the will to change course. Easy answer here. Do something different than what you always do. Acquire a new taste for scrambled eggs and eggplant, pigs-in-a-blanket, or some other crazy food. Watch a porn flick, listen to New Orleans Jazz, Go shopping for postcards, buy a set of cheap, gaudy, and childish ear-rings. The list is endless. DO SOMETHING NEW AND IRRELEVANT.

Well I know this is freaky, but what I would do is:
Get out of that city.
Pack a bag with:
1. A toothbrush.
2. A tee and jeans.
3. Underwear.
4. A sandwich and bottle of water.
5. 100 dollars money.
6. A camera.
7. A book.

And go to some city near your home, an interesting city. Get a room at a motel there and get along with new life. Be alone and just watch for a while.
The best option is a beach.
When you feel ready go back, or not.
That's what I personally would do.
Good luck and hope you get up to it!.
oxox.

Been there - sorry you're going through a bad patch.

Here's the thing, it's just a patch, not the whole field. My mom used to say, "Better is always coming - the trick is to hang on until it gets here." Reminding yourself that what's going on now won't last forever can help. Tell yourself that as often as you have to, because it's true.

Making a plan can also help. If you have a plan to improve your situation, and act on it, then you don't feel helpless (because you're not - you're taking action, however small).

Something else that can help is volunteering. Helping other people who have problems (for example, being a smiling face helping to serve lunch to the homeless) puts your problems in perspective. Nothing helps you feel better faster than reaching out to someone else.

The way I'm reaching out to you right now. See, I was SUPPOSED to be taking a vacation starting today, one that I really needed and have been anticipating eagerly. Then I came into contact with something that triggered my allergies, and broke out in hives all over. Checking on the hives, I slipped and fell in the bathroom, hit the floor hard, and messed up my already-injured knee.

So instead of taking a long-awaited vacation, walking on the beach, I'm sitting at home, waiting for the allergy meds to kick in, trying not to scratch, with ice on my knee. Even so, I'm in a pretty fair mood. Trying to help someone else will do that for you. Gets your mind off yourself and your troubles.

Good luck!

Hello, This is a good start! Talk to people...if you get all bummed out then it's hard to see the good when it's right in front of you..the glass will always seem "half empty"..in other words you need to feel like a winner. Get around happy positive people who can give you good advice. Go to church ....looks like a good idea right now huh?, after all God is about fixing your soul & making you joyful, just what you need! Bless your heart, hope you find the happiness that you so rightly deserve! bye bye

Think--really think about what it is that makes you unhappy. Try and find someone you can really talk to. You don't say if you have specific problems or if you are unhappy for no reason. You may be clinically depressed and need medication or you may just need to find what it is that makes you happy. Maybe you are just bored; find something you enjoy doing and spend more time doing that.
