Nothing makes me happy. I posted about my horse the other day but it occurs to me that when I'm depressed it doesn't matter what I do, even if it's something I normally love. Sometimes equine therapy soothes me and makes me feel happy but often when I'm depressed it doesn't. Nothing does.

When I can afford it again, I want to start riding horseback again. I miss it. It made me happy.

Switching off the tapes that tell me I'm worthless. Reminding myself that it's all lies, that it's just depression talking. It's okay to be in the moment and enjoy, or be content with what's happening now. I tell the shame monster to 'get lost' , and this helps.

I played Kirby Air Ride, a video game I was very fond of as a kid.

Play video games
Watch movies/tv shows (especially funny ones)
Write
Go on forums

I also tend to purposely avoid things I know will make me sad like:
Sad songs
Dark spaces/rooms/places
Certain people
Facebook

This is really fabulous cause this sounds like me. I do not play video games anymore because I don't have the patience like I used to, but I love listening to music and chatting and connecting with people. I love people and I think other perspectives can bring a lot to the table. I crave conversation especially spiritual ones. I smile a lot more often now, and even though I may not be completely happy with the way I look I am content in the way I live my life and the way my life is. I have my family, my health and people in my life that love me truly. Really nothing more a girl can ask for!

I hope you get yourself that awesome wardrobe OP, you deserve it!

I like to pamper myself if I have extra money. Get my nails done, buy me a drink and pastry at Starbucks. I saved for two months and took a road trip to my college homecoming. I was super happy!!

This is a really hard question. There are things I can do to make me happy but that happiness doesn't last very long and I am left with consequences - like being unable to afford groceries because i treated myself to a manicure, going into debt because I spent hundreds of dollars on making a painting and having it framed, gaining weight because I went on a binge.

For me there is no way of making myself happy without huge lasting cost.
