i’d do anything just to be happy for once

...See more i’m not sure what went wrong, but like every kid i was happy and enjoyed life but at one point during the start of highschool everything kinda just changed, i became depressed and distant and didn’t know what to do anymore. i ended up going to therapy after my parents convinced me but it made me feel uncomfortable and it never helped so i stopped going after just a few weeks. some years later i’m less depressed but i’m in more of a state of constant emptiness, like nothing i can do will make me feel truly happy like things once did. i do hangout with my friends and talk to family but it feels like putting on a facade, because once it’s over i go back to feeling empty. everything i’ve read says i should reach out to friends or family and let them know, but just the thought of trying to explain how i feel makes me uncomfortable. recently my friend asked me to hang out with him and some new people i’d never met, i decided to say yes even though i knew my social anxiety would make it hard, but i really truly believed i could finally convince myself to break out of my anxiety but in the end i couldn’t do anything but follow them around and not say anything. this gave myself confirmation that i will never be happy again, because no matter how hard i try i just fail and discourage myself even more. i’m not expecting any help or sympathy, in fact this is the first time i’ve done something like this. but at this point id do anything just to feel something
