How do I stop being sorry for myself and learn how to lighten up?
Answer:
Write a gratitude list of all the things you have to be grateful for in your life: your health, roof over your head, food in your fridge etc. I bet you find all your basic needs are taken care of. We always want more but really we don't need more. The secret to happiness being happy with your lot. x
by doing fun things!
i am always HAPPY, like 100% of the time i am rarely mad. but your condition seems wierd sorry.
Smile, lifes a laugh, occupy your time with things you enjoy, if you dont already get someone into your life.Just smiling works for me, and looking forward to something in the day, but then I am 'religious' a Christian and im very happy.
get drunk
Write down everything that you do 'right' and everything that you do 'wrong'--separate lists. Do not throw these lists away--keep adding to them. Try to get more in the 'right' column than in the 'wrong' column--it will take time--but if you truly want to feel better and lighten up--it will work.
Have you spoken to your doctor? If the unhappiness and depression persists, it's time to give him/her a call.
Be well :)
If it is an ongoing problem, seek some therapy or counselling. It really does help. I can highly recommend Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, in just a few sessions it teaches you to analyze your thought patterns and how this affects your moods, behaviour and life in general. I had six sessions and had suffered chronic depression which had stopped my life being good for over 20 years. I have never looked back and even when I feel down, the smallest thing will brighten my day and put me back on track. Good Luck and God Bless
Are you just unhappy and in a rut, or do you think it might be mild depression?
If you are in a rut, think about what you want from life and how you can work towards it.
If you think it could be more, speak to your GP.
go into the jokes section and have a laugh at some funnys
You must find things to do that you really enjoy fill your world with you! take life as it comes don't try to plan to much.try to work out why you feel so down and get it out of your life. get into stand up comedians, they always cheer me up! most of all learn to relax its so important that we wind down and most of all see friends and family regular. hope you feel better soon xxxx

c yah...
even if you don't believe in 'positive thinking' and 'visualise it the way you'd like it to be' stuff, just give it a go.. meaning continue to 'give it a go' even when you feel it's not working. At those times stop your thoughts and recite to yourself (silently in your head or speak the words) "I reject all negative imaginings of my subconscious mind" . Every day several times a day and night 'see' yourself as the type of person you really wish you could be... because you CAN be that person. AND as those derisory thoughts come into your mind about the unlikelihood of you achieving this goal,, immediately recite the words above "I reject all negative imaginings of my subconscious mind". This way, your conscious mind is ridiculing those negatives by referring to them as 'imaginings' (i.e. therefore not of any substance and not real) and is stating that the conscious mind (over which you DO have control) is rejecting them i.e. 'not having any of it!' ..and taking on the entity of the subconscious mind which simply feeds off our thoughts and absorbs them into our being as true statements. which of course is false.. so right now this minute start this takeover bid for your true, lighthearted, hitherto unseen (except occasionally) self. and be prepared for some surprised and welcoming looks around you.
I know, "I WAS that soldier". and it's still working for me. hard work but worth it.
