I'm unhappy in life

In the last two weeks our therapists have answered 211 queries related to mental health.

I've tried everything possible to make myself more excited towards life. I've tried to make new friends, date new people, pick up new hobbies - basically everything. I still feel suicidal. Why can't I just be happy? My depression seems to have no end and nothing I try works. I'm tired of waking up every morning and dreading living through the day.

It's difficult to be happy honestly. I try to be as joyful as possible but I often falter too. But one thing I've learnt in my journey is that all though people and activities can increase happiness, it majorly comes from within. You need to first believe life is beautiful to see its beauty.

Are you in a career you love? Is your partner the one for you? Do you talk to your parents enough? There's no point running behind meaningless connections and week-long hobbies. They bring change but not long-term happiness. Make sure the fundamentals of your life are in place.
