  • That depends on you =/ I don't know you, and I know nothing about your life other then your unhappy. There is no way I can suggest one outcome or another to you. All I can say is, seek out what makes you happy and try it, if you don't know what makes you happy try a bunch of things till you find one.
  • Everyone has a purpose in this world...you just have to find out what yours is...it wont just come to you....;)
  • I felt that way for a while. I even felt like suicide. Think PMA - positive mental attitude. I started reading a lot of motivation and self help books but it made me realize that everything starts with you and you are one the best things your parents brought into this world. Also, look for a sense of humor in everything.
  • I am really sorry you are feeling like this. I am feeling the same way I make money just to keep myself alive and nothing more. I suggest maybe spending time outdoors enjoying nature.. that is what makes me happy if only for a day.
  • I have a useful saying: "If what you're doing isn't working, try something else." It's never too late to do something differently, to make new relationships, learn new skills, or revisit old ones. Take a risk. It may help to sit an think about what you define as your goals, dreams and desires and how to achieve them. Bear in mind that "being happy" shouldn't be a desire; happiness is fleeting, and emotions can swing. Instead, do that which, in a few years time, will let you look back and say, "I'm bloody glad I did that".
  • In my opinion I would find and talk to people that are unhappy like yourself but living a different unhappy life, see what they are going through and then compare yourself with them and try to do things that those unhappy wouldn't do but that you would do. I am not sure that these are the best answers to your problems but I am sure it would guide you to another road and put a dead end to that unhappy road. Read this song and see if it helps you clear your head. Let me know if it does, "I'm Sorry" Don't bide your time 'Cause it is almost over And I know you're down And I'll see you around And I know it hurts But you're just getting older And I know you'll win You'll do it once again Just yesterday It always seemed like such a dream We're unstoppable, indestructable Nothing happens to our machine And there's no harm At least nothing I can see As for you, not so true You couldn't choose where his road would lead What a loss You just lost all your sleep And we've always thought That this could never happen, you see That it's so hard You gotta get up on your feet 'Cause the only way, I gotta say Is to move on through the week Don't bide your time 'Cause it is almost over And I know you're down And I'll see you around And I know it hurts But you're just getting older And I know you'll win You'll do it once again Sorry [x16] (Sorry...) Happened to you [x4] Don't bide your time 'Cause it is almost over And I know you're down And I'll see you around And I know it hurts But you're just getting older And I know you'll win You'll do it once again
  • Volunteer. The best way to put your troubles into perspective is by helping others. If you like animals go vol. in a animal shelter. If you like kids go vol. at a school. ect. ect. Every night write down a few things you are grateful for. Find a hobby. Take an art class. Learn to knit. Whatevery you are interested in. Exercise several times a week. This builds feel good endorphins in you system. If you are into reading try some self help books on changing the way you think about things. David Burns is a very good author for this. Do something once a week that you enjoy. Go for a walk on the beach. Go see a movie. Go out with friends. Avoid alcohol. I am not saying that it is always a bad thing but it is a depressant. Get a physical. Many medical conditions can affect your mood. Also try to eat as healthily as possible. Rent funny movies or read funny books. This can often life your mood. Also avoid negative/depressing movies.
  • First of all, head to the doctor and get blood work done, etc. because you may have thyroid problems or anemia which will make you tired and it is hard to be joyful and energetic when you are tired. If you have been diagnosed with depression, please make sure that you take your antidepressants regularly. Also....exercise at least 30 minutes per day. I know you probably don't feel like it but maybe your mother or husband or whoever can e-mail or phone you every day to keep you accountable whether you have exercised. Exercise helps alot with brain chemistry (seratonin). I would also say that you should get out of the house if you are not working....even if it means you grab a coffee somewhere outside the home. Sometimes that will help. Ummm....read a good book whether it is a Dr. Phil book about getting real and getting excited about life or the Scriptures.
  • This really isn't an answer to your problem... I can commiserate with you. I have felt the same way on and off (on mostly) all of my life. I take anti-depressants, I exercise, I have hobbies, I have a wonderful family, a nice home, I spend summers at my place at the beach, I own my own small buisness which is flourishing yet I am wallowing in depression. I drag myself from day to day. I am never happy. A few times I went through spells of happiness but the dark cloud always appears over my head. So, if anyone out there can answer your question it will not only be helping you...it might save me.
  • I believe that everyone questions how happy they are at every stage of their life. We are petrified of making mistakes, getting it wrong and ending up miserable. When I get low it is usually caused by a "trigger". A lyric, lack of money, a sad movie, another bill, the news, a friends success, disappointment and the most regular cause for me becoming bored. I to like many others have a nice home, loving family and good job and 100 hobbies etc. From the outside all should be well, and for the majority of the time it is. From my own meandering experience I can give you the following advice. Stop whatever you are doing, grab a pen and some paper and walk into the next room close the door and write down everything you have ever wanted to see, do, buy, try, say, experiences and feel. Then choose your top five and plan them into the year ahead. Don't make excuses. Everything is possible. Everything has obstacles and you you and only you are responsible for achieving your objectives. Take one step at a time. Planning your future gives you hopes and dreams. When you start doing the things you have planned for it is amazing how happy you can make yourself. Be proud of every achievement and remember to share your happiness with others as they too may have lists of their own which will add to your life plan. I like the phrase "The race is long but in the end its only with yourself. It inspired me. Good luck. x
  • Things I try to do on a regular basis to keep the blues at bay; Pray specificly for help w/ this,spend as much time in nature as possible,exercise 30 min.day, a walk is enough to do the trick,and make someone smile every chance I get,by giving a complement,holding a door,picking something up someone is struggling w/.I make it my job to look around myself & see who might need help.I'm talking total stranger's in the market,dr.'s office on the st..You'd be suprised how focusing on other's happiness instead of my own makes me happy:)Good luck.God bless.
  • No offense intended at all, but you need to get outside of yourself and involved in life in some way. School? Volunteer work? Interest groups? If you aren't motivated that way, you may need antidepressant medication and/or therapy. Good luck!
  • happiness? i don't think i have been truly happy since i was young. What is it that makeS us happy? we need meaning and purpose, a sense that we are movIng forward and that we are loved by those that we love. i kNow why i am unhappy - my expectation of what my life would become has not been forfilled. i am dissapointed that i am not where i thought i was goinG to be. on top of this, iT feels as though no matter what i do, tHings always go wrong. but, you know what? i'm not going to do this anymorE. i not going to sit and ask questions that i know can't be answered. i'm not going to stop trying because it hasn't worked Before. i have spent my life being knocked down and not getting up. from now on i'm getting up. i've reaLised that there is only one person that can turn things around - myself. determination. i am going to be happy because i deserve to be. some people say believe in god; i say believe in yoUrself. follow your strEngths and you will find the path to happineSs. i will find the path to happiness. i will find my way home. NEVER STOP BELIEVING. NEVER GIVE UP...
  • First, you must be willing to change. If you truly are willing to change, then you must start to change your current mindset. There are many different ways to do this. I suggest getting a book on CD or something you can play on a recurring basis. It will help to reinforce and help you align yourself with what you truly desire. I know exactly how you feel and I was at your point 5 short years ago. I took the steps I am suggesting to you and made a drastic change in my life and I am the happiest I have ever been. Don't allow your focus to continue to be on negative because that is what you will continue to attract more of. Make a change and strat will positive information. Book on cd or try watch the movie "the secret". A great introduction to a new way of think. Believe me, it all works. Believe in yourself and take action. Dave www.beginlivinglife.com
  • WHen you find out the answer to that... let me know! The closest I can come to a decent answer is... what I tell myself on a daily basis. "Happiness is found in the knowing that you do not necessarily require it in order to be happy." Sartre It get's me by.
  • Take a nice, long, distant vacation.
