Maybe since you have improved significantly in 5 years, in another 5 years (or 1 or 2) you'll be feeling even better? I know you want to be happy right now. Completely understandable and natural. I wish I was happy right now too. But I think for many (or most?) of us happiness takes work and time and practice.
How do you feel about mindfulness and meditation? They help me to create at least some joy for myself each day.
Could you try an exercise....write down all the ways in which you are doing better now compared with 5 years ago? Then pick 3 specific things you'd like to change for the better in the next year or several.
Sorry you are experiencing deep pain SorryShaped
