No matter what i do in my life i cant find happiness!
Ive tried nearly everything i can think of, and nothing works !!
Its just a constant war that never gets anywhere.
Im sooo tired of it all !!

I am the same as you. Happiness is fleeting at best.

You are young
Happiness will come your way
Just because you’re not happy now doesn’t mean you will never be happy
I wouldn’t say I’m happy but I’m enjoying life more these days

Have you tried antidepressants? They might help. There are new ones coming out all the time.

Yea ive tried them for ages over and over again, and they really dont make me feel better 
Maybe they take a slight edge off but its really minimal, nothing to rave about.
I still hate life
And what makes me even more fuucking sad is that there are people with no arms that are limbless and blind. they should be the ones depressed not me 
Did you give antidepressants enough time to kick in

A few nights ago I felt like I saw strings or chords a certain stillness to the birds flying in their colonies or groups… Then I went Bashir crazy and decided I need to RUNNNNNNNN. RUNNNNNNNN DONT STOP KEEEP GPING FASTER AND FASTER. IT MADE ME SUPER HAPPY. I washed with satisfaction. I feel more energized than usual tonight. Restlessness…
I used to suffer immensely with depression,apathy,feelings of hopelessness etc
I was lonely and alone and felt unloved and unwanted and was bullied.
In a way I am happy now.
Every day I say I love you to my bf and his dogs and I have my sacred neigh.
I joined a gym and started yoga.
I am not isolating like I was before.
I have contact with family again.
I don’t have friends as such but I have spirit friends and a couple of friends I exchange Christmas gifts with.
I think I have a pretty loving peaceful home.
I nolonger have paranoia and not much delusions going on either .
I used to have heaps of delusions etc
I’m a way I’m happier than I have been in a long time.
I went years with out laughter and now I sometimes laugh out loud.
Not daily and not weekly but it happens now and my bf and I do not have the same sense of humour so we do t usually laugh together but I usually laugh by myself.
Sometimes with my spirit friends but I have one spirit friend I have not felt inside me for ages.
I wonder if my bf parents drove him away they can probably be nosy when it’s none of their business .they have some ugly qualities but they are not all bad I think one of them is thoughtful and I love them but I love everyone.
Don’t want anyone driving my friends away even though they are “just” spirit friends.
I miss my friends.
I am better now than I was before so things can get better even after years and years in misery and feelings of hopelessness…

And my voices went away which was just fabulous.
I hope you will find things to look forward to.
This year I decided to visit my family and I was always avoiding them and isolating from them.
I decided to plan things to look forward to.
Such as I am planning and saving money for a ski trip next winter for two days .it should cost under $500.
Have you got things you could plan to look forward to?
I was not well enough to do this before .
But I still tried but it didn’t work out well like when I was forced to swim with dolphins when psychotic …I suffered and did not enjoy it …
Plan a massage ?
Anything at all give you pleasure?
Food?
Good touch?
Water?
Water helps me.
Hope you will feel better soon and more optimistic and happy.

It is against this website’s rules for me to tell you my secret for happiness. But, there it is. My other secrets are: good meds, yoga, meditation, playing musical instruments, volunteering, good sleep hygiene, good nutrition, socialization, pet ownership and low stress.

I can’t say that I am always happy, as sometimes I am very unhappy. But I define happiness as being linked to outward things, like your circumstances, whereas joy is an internal thing you can have even when things are bad. I have joy because of my religious beliefs and that gets me through the hard times even when happiness is nowhere to be seen.
