Honestly, you will never be happy for long in a relationship if you are not happy with yourself. Go see a counselor and start exercising as just walking will trick your brain into thinking it is happy.

That's terrible fucking advice, the release from exercise only works for so long until the chemical imbalance in your brain turns it into another habit, then you just feel like pushing weights and if you don't you feel in even worse.

t. me going to the gym every other day already.

Have you considered the possibility that it might be an addiction?
Alcoholism isn't the only addiction out there, and it kinda sounds to me like you have a sex or love addiction.
I don't know much about your situation, but if I could prescribe anything, it would be to get to know yourself and deal with your past before you consider a relationship.

If that was even remotely true I would probably have more than two failed relationships.

Love addiction doesn't necessarily mean having a lot of relationships.
As a recovering addict, I can tell you that being a love addict really means that you're carrying emotions from your parents, often because you were neglected.That causes you to you use relationships to fill an empty hole in your heart. It's not a happy existence.
The hardest step of all the 12 steps is the first: Admitting you have a problem. In my opinion (and that of leading relationship psychologists like Patrick Carnes), you must understand yourself and your history before you can ever lead a truly happy relationship.

How good was your mother with you when you were 0-4yrs? Did your father encourage and support you as you grew up?
I'm guessing not from your statement about your household -- but it's important to know.

As someone that has worked with therapists, I'd say 90% of "mental illness's" is just something wrong with the person's life rather than their head. If you don't have good personal relationships you're going to feel like shit (unless you're in the .1% of most introverted people on earth.) Start with friends, bloody acquaintances will do to start. Easy as finding someone to play pubg with a lot, start there ("easy"). Once you have a few semi-stable friendships try and find one that you can seriously talk to and listens. You may have to listen to them first. Talk to them. Once you can start handling a more serious friendship, try online dating (or whatever.) Don't dedicate at first, say you'll spend 2 years just starting relationships to get comfortable. Once you've done that start seriously looking for someone to spend your life with.

Sorry if I got a bit preachy! If you have follow up comments/questions let me know.
