Try to dig deep inside ur mind to abstract why made u happy and hold on to it for as long as u can.

Happiness means different things to different people. Unforunately, as human beings, and I don't know why, it doesn't last as long as we want it too.

Hope mthis makes sense to u...

I can't stay happy. I don't know why. Something always comes up. Nothing particularly bad is happening in my life right now, other than the issues above. But I just can't stay happy. I can't not worry about stuff. It just...happens. There's no other way I can describe it. I convince myself that I'm not allowed to stay happy, that the feeling is abnormal and I should feel all depressed.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to not go back to that mindset, and actually stay happy - or at least somewhat positive and not self-loathing - for more than a few hours at a time?
