@resourcefulCar3062 Hey :) I wish it was that easy but it's not. There's alot of work you have to do. The happy pills - Idk if its that they ever really just make you happy but kind of like they just make it so you don't care that you aren't happy. If that makes any sense. That's just my opinion on those though

Talking with people can help if you feel lonely but its like every person's depression is their own and while we can understand and feel for other people dealing with it - you have to figure out what's causing it yourself. Therapy can help but that's another thing that only you can do but a good therapist can help guide you to what's causing it. So - its just something to think about

I’m going through some serious depression and an extremely difficult situation. What I’ve come to understand is that you are the person that has to make you happy. Other people are not responsible for my feelings. I’m trying therapy, meds, and exercise. Taking a long walk/jogging most days doesn’t necessarily make me happy, but it does help me destress. I don’t know what things make me happy anymore, but I’m looking for them.

We can't tell you that. No one can give you the absolute right answer. Some things work for different people. Having people to talk to is a great option. It helps to know someone cares. I am sorry you are suffering. You aren't alone. We are suffering too. But I really hope you get better soon.
