Self-loahing

>I can't think of anything positive
That is the negative mind set talking.
Actually try to think positive or die in self loathing.

I've tried, on and off, for years. I got nothing. At this point I'm not even sure what positive looks like.

I had severe depression growing up. I got fucking pissed about it and decided to do something about it. I literally just said positive and happy over and over in my head. It was exhausting but I didn't want to feel the pain of nothingness anymore. Another thing you can do is everytime you think something negative immediately spin it in a way that looks positive. Example I just broke up with my gf. I think, no will ever want to be with me, I'll be alone forever. Positive spin. "Fuck that bitch, there's a lot of girls out there that are better and want me" you don't even really have to believe it. Just the act of thinking it will do. Laugh more even if it's not real. Smile more. Body posture can really effect you mood.

I've tried thinking positive things I don't believe, and it makes me feel much worse.

>I can't think of anything positive to focus on.

Focus on the very least awful things.

There is no hope if you don't commit and try. Have you tried meditation? Calming the mind to the point there are no thoughts circle if your mind?

I did try. That's what I just said.

I try meditation every now and then but I don't think I've done it "properly" or "well", or something. I feel relaxed, but that's kind of it.
