I mean, I have been there, and that's basically what I had to do. It's not easy to put into words, but basically one day I was just like this is BS and I don't need to give this so much power over me. So I was just like it's up to you and no one is really going to help until you can help yourself. Not saying I don't ever feel sad or down but recognizing that it's just a state of mind and that it IS within my power to just let it go and be happy was the best thing that helped me. All the drugs and therapy just gave me excuses for the sadness, escapes, oh it's this imbalance and If I take this "medicine" I'll feel better...for a moment. Now I just accept my emotions and recognize where they come from but they don't end up consuming me because I don't fixate on it anymore. It takes some "mental training" but that really is the secret to it. Just be happy and let the rest go.

@icantstandsbmm8880 A lot of that science is tainted by greed and money though. I've been there too man, and I'm not saying some of those medicines don't help anybody but they give everybody a crutch to not really deal with and handle those feelings. Which makes it way worse later, especially if you don't want to use those drugs for the test of your life. The medicine gave me this idea that I was fixing something and when I realized it wasn't, that it was just covering it up, it made it twice as bad for me mentally, until I just stopped allowing myself to fixate and giving so much power to these feelings. Not saying it's 100% happy go lucky all the time but life never is. Accepting that you won't be happy all the time and allowing that to be ok was a big part for me. But until I accepted that it was up to me to condition my happiness and expectations, nothing was going to change.

@icantstandsbmm8880 Sounds like you are holding on to a lot of resentment. You CAN be happy. Just don't expect it to be a 100% constant every second of your life. That is unattainable and unrealistic. But you can be happy.
