I am new here, I am sorry for being dumb/lazy right now. But I am in need of some help/advice to help get my mind in a positive direction right now. If there is some where else I should post my problems to get advice please let me know with a link or something. My current issue is that I have been in a depression for a very long time, and even though I do have happy moments, I just cannot seem to be happy. Any help or someone that I do not know that cares to be my eyes ("ears") for a bit and give me some advice it would be awesomely appreciated.

Hi,

It sounds like you're going through a bit of a tough time at the moment, I'm really glad you came here though. I know it can feel like nothing will ever change but try and have hope that it will? Also try not to blame yourself for not being happy, it's not your fault and I know it's really hard. Maybe try doing things you enjoy, perhaps you could meet up with some friends or play an instrument, whatever you like to do. If you'd like to talk about anything just message me, and take care, you're doing great

Hi, can you remember the last moment when you truly felt happy and content with life? What changed from that moment up until now? Once you pinpoint it, you can set yourself on a new path to happiness, find something similar to what made you happy (or the same thing if possible). Make it a goal you can work towards to keep your mind off whatever you feel uncomfortable with, plus the mission will give you a sense of purpose. This will help you feel a little bit better. Feel free to talk to me and everyone else on this site, everyone has valuable inputs and perspectives that may benefit you.

Hello, welcome to 7 cups!

I am sorry that you are feeling like this, but that is what we are here for! This is not an uncommon feeling, so you are not alone, there are a lot of people who feel like this and a lot of people who are willing to help you.

A good thing to do is have soemething to focus on, soemthing that you do every day, like excercise, running a sport or hobby etc. I think that would be a good start!

Hope this helps a bit :)
