What will you do if you feel you are not happy anymore?

Often times when I am not happy, I sit back and reflection about what is causing this sudden shift of moods. There has to be some contributing factor that is causing me not to be as happy as I really should be. Or really many little factors that are just adding up and slowly sneaked up on me, in an attempt to bring my mood down to the lowest depths. Because you can't really fix the problem, without knowing exactly what is causing it. Given that there are various things that are causing me to unhappy, there will be various methods to correct it, all of them varying and all of them extremely different dependent on the situation at hand. There is really no catch all, end all fix for unhappiness, unless of course I know what the problem is and then and only then can I fix it.

That happens to me most of the time. I don't know what's happening that makes me sad, feeling emptiness and I don't know what to do. I just go out and take some walk and free my mind with all the worries and think of happy times, that's what I usually do. There are times that we have to be contended with what we have because looking for something that is impossible to have really makes us weary.

there are times when we really feel sad or lonely for no reason, i for example, also encounter that thing specially during rainy days. i don't know why but it might have something to do with the gloomy weather that i feel down. when things like this happen i just put myself to think of other things usually with the help of a music or favorite movie. When i have the chance i also just like to sleep the gloom off.

It happens, especially when we are caught by the routine. We think that it worked out yesterday, it should work out fine today. But then again, doing the same thing over and over again is like living your life in a prison. Its good to know you are going to the Word to find your answers. This is what I do: 1. I pray that the Lord will guide me in objectively assessing what I should be doing with my life. 2. I try to find out what I've been doing that gave me a semblance of happiness and what got me trapped in the routine of everyday life. 3. I try to find out what really makes me happy. 4. I know there are limitations, but if the limitations are superficial, its time to break free from it. Do something you would not normally do. Change you routine. Find a goal. 5. I pray that I am doing the right thing!

Then find reasons for you to be happy. Sometimes we are confined inside the box that we to see many reasons to be happy. There are simple things that we neglect and realize how important it is until it is gone. Move on. Keep on moving forward. The happiness that you might be looking for is just waiting around the bend.

Yes... True just trust in God. I, myself feel depressed at times. i'm a cheerful person and I am really loud. However there are those times when I just feel like I'm a walking skeleton specially when I see something that may remind me of something sad. They say I may be manic- the a kind depression when you easily get to the extremes of your emotion. I do a lot of stuffs that helps me get through those sad moments. Oftentimes, I write in my journal. It really makes me feel good. An icecream would also make you feel better (it's effective for me =)) Or sometimes I listen to loud music that makes me feel happy. Sometimes I sketch or draw. These are only outlets so at least you won't be on such a stage that you just wake up in the middle of the night crying and you don't really know the reason why. The most important thing is that you pray at night. =) It's good to know that in times when no one seems understand you (even you don't know yourself anymore) there's someone who still knows you more than you know yourself. You know Him-God. =)

I would search for new things which will make me happy again like going out with friends for shopping and trying new galleries on the way back home. Spending diner nights with my husband and taking the kids to play in new parks and making new friends too. You should say to yourself that you want to be happy and you will do everything to be happy too.

I think there are reason behind every thing. If we had every thing and feel not happy so its will be something related with love. We often think we can control our heart with our mind but most of the time its work on the opposite. Its our heart who rule in every thing like see how bad mood ruin every thing. I usually not share it with any one because I don't believe they can help, listen yes but thats will be not solve every thing. So I get up on my knee and pray its given better relieve.

At this moment, I have been feeling a little bit down like you do. Lots of confusion, and sometimes it also feels like there is no other way to get out of this black hole I am in. I guess, writing your feelings could help ease some of your sadness. Find comfort in the company of your friends and family. You may not be happy right now but then it's your choice whether to stay that way. I know there are times when it really seems so difficult to start over or do something that will make you happy but then, find what you really want and do something about it. I find comfort in listening to music and traveling. It makes me feel happy despite all the adversities I might be facing in the moment. I hope you'll find that happiness and prayer also helps a lot. Take care.

When I feel blue, or unhappy, I'd be very worried. I don't like to in this kind of state of mind as I'll be losing a half of my hope. But that's life--happiness and unhappiness go hand in hand. Life is full of uncertainties, especially for the past few years with weather extrems runing amuck the eonomy and health. It just has to happen, as, like everything in life, it's meant to teach us human about better ways and compassion. So I think we need to accept it when it strikes us. That's the most important thing: accept it first. Then find a way to deal with it so that we can get back on track. I believe that in order for life to flow smoothly we need to keep our mind free of doubts. And that is a whole load of lessons. When I'm unhappy, I'll find some motivations from people or from anything I can get. Music that soothes or uplifts me usually accompanies me in the search. Learning self help on self development is a good thing. It's true, "It'll pass" but I won't let it drive my daily life. So as soon as I feel blue, I'll retreat whenever I can, for example a walk in the park, having lunch outdoor with a good friend I trust, or just sharing in online forums, cooking something delicious for myself. But what makes me feel much, much better is when I do something for the good of others. So, I think, the best solution is probably find somebody who needs help that you can help. Why such a feeling. Perhaps that's what the universe wants us to take as a lesson by our problems: being compassionate. That makes life more worthwhile. I also agree that in God we can find consolation in our solitary life.

when I am not happy,I will go outside and find a quite place to shout out my angry.sometimes I just find some sad movies,and prepare a lot of soft papers,then crying. that's really work.

you know what exactly can make you happy. life is short don't waste it crying out or living in misery. live your life be happy be safe. do what you think can make you happy.
