I feel much the same way chrise. Have been off and on for years. You can't change what others do . You see them happy , and you want to be happy . I bet you they have sad times too . It just seems like you can't be happy . What would make you happy? Make a list of the things you would like in your life that you think would make you happy. Then try to achieve one of them at a time. Take it slow . If you fail , try again. I don't have the answer for your happiness.
Only you know that . Hang in there . The fact that you're struggling to stay alive is good. Not so much the struggling , but the staying alive. Take care
