In my head
I dont really know whats wrong with me, I want to be happy and normal like other people but i cant seem to be positive and grateful about anything because I dont really feel like there is anything to be positive about. Im tired of being sad and angry all the time
@indigoSea4619. With mental health issues, it's pretty common to have feelings that don't respond in the expected ways. I tend to do better when I don't try to directly force feelings. Instead, I concentrate on doing the tangible healthy step. Often, that can create an improvement emotionally, and if it doesn't, at the very least I've avoided a lot of the damage that can come when I let bad feelings or the inability to be happy control my decisions.
Hey! If you have indeed been feeling like this for quite a long time now, it's really good to have a checkup with a doctor just to be on the safe side! Some times physical ailments can also manifest itself in a poor mood and getting a professional opinion will always be a wise choice :)
Great suggestions from everyone. I do agree you might consider ruling out anything medical but if you do know its depression considering seeing a therapist. And take a look at the self care threads-they are some ideas on how to take care of yourself during this time. I'm sorry you are struggling.
