Keep one of these in your bedroom

i took xanax to sleep a couple nights ago. woke up hella groggy but as that fog wore off, I felt content and happy with the world. It slowely faded back to misery and sadness that I always feel though, but for those short hours it was amazing.

Live a traditional life: get a job, get a (traditionalist) wife, have children, have social interactions. The rest will come.

You won't be happy 24/7, but as close as you can possibly get.

>>723346069

I tried that and all was good and right but i was still not happy then after three years i just got drunk every weekend and fucked other girls.

And then she left me.

She was like perfect and the best root and head every we3k3nd and cooked me all my meals and organised me. (I cant do that myself).

Seriously best gf.

How can you be happy following the tradition path if you just destroy it every time.

>>723346454
>i just got drunk every weekend and fucked other girls.
Sounds like you had it all but due to lack of morality and self control you blew it. Consider going to church.

I know it sounds pedantic but we humans are horribly flawed, and the vast majority of us will fuck up every good thing we have in our lives without a solid moral base and/or the feeling of great shame when we do wrong.

I drink a lot. That's about it. I wake up, go to work, get off work and drink by myself. Watching TV, playing video games, it's all more fun drunk.

On my days off I go to the national forest near my place and fuck around in the woods, make a little fire, think about shit. Shoot my guns. Then I go home and drink.

That's my life. Im actually pretty happy.

>>723347582

>>723342703
I would say drink but then after im always 50x more depressed. Then i would say do military shit but youll hate it and when its over youll spend your life searching for it again. Weed is alright.

I dont know i just cant be happy. So ill join the legion. If i die thats dandy. If i live i habe spec ops training. I was military and now i have nothing left. I hope i die.

This might not work for you, but I will share with you the thing that turned me from a sad sack into someone that is happy and that is the realization of this one fundamental truth: you control what you do & you do not control what other people do.

Whether people like or dislike you is irrelevant. You control absolutely everything about yourself. What you eat, what you do for a living, who you fuck. Once you understand this, good fortune will follow.

>>723348320

It is actually inside your own question OP. Happy is a behavior. Be it. So many people here are publishing threads about their depression. All they do is being depressed and then they complain about it. Emotions are behavioral. If you truly want to be happy, do something. Do anything and if it does not make a difference stop doing and and start doing something else. Do this every single day for a long period of time and eventually you might fall into a pattern of behavior which will make you rather happy. I love watching emotional videos, violent videos, reading sad texts and listen to deep sad music. But one day I realized that even though I love it.. it still made me unhappy. I started gradually (require discipline) to stop watching anything but stuff which made me smile. Then I started doing stuff that made me smile. As soon as unhappy thoughts came to mind I started focusing on something. Don't think about changing focus. Just do it.

Dont understand why this is so hard.
How to be happy 101

Have a job you are ok with, its hard finding one you love, so settle for one you can be ok with.
If you have to leave a better paying job in order to something you can slightly enjoy, then so be it. Its hard to be happy when you despise what you do for 40 hours plus every week.

2. Stop caring what other people think about you and DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY.

Alcohol/drugs.. I've been through therapy, counseling, relationships, major life changes, established a good career etc. etc. And am still always in a state of deep depression regardless of the medications or circumstances. Alcohol and/or drugs fix that right up. Some of us will never be happy, so you have to settle for a false sense of happiness. Afterglow of psychedelics can be nice and somewhat mind altering towards improvement, but it's a dice roll. Find a drug you like, stick to it, do it until you die.

Can confirm. I just got on Valium and high dose gabapentin with the occasional phenibut/alcohol. Ghb is very nice but short lived, lyrica is nice, ethanol is alright but toxic so maybe try a different alcohol like 2m2b, barbiturates are Amazing. Gabaergics seem to be the way to go.. Dopamine agonists can be nice as well, but I'd recommend a benzo in addition to take the edge off.

you stop treating happiness like its something you find or get from a store.

You need to live happily. Thats only way to be happy.

Drugs, The Love of your life, Family, Friends, Money, Cloths, Gadgets, Etc

Its all meaningless. Carrot on a stick thinking.

Desperate people get wrapped up in negativity. You need to break a cycle. Lie to yourself and fake it till you make it.

Cut toxic friends. Theyre garbage.

Learn how to play a musical instrument or hit the gym

you feel better and don't look like a floating turd all the time because you don't give a crap.

coincidentally everyone who says drugs is one of those hippies. theyll deny it like fuck but notice how the list guy was careful to not imply that theyre the answer?

Nope. I've had relationships but I am far too selfish for that. That isn't self loathing, just the truth. I just don't want to spend time doing what someone else wants to do. I want to fulfill my own caprices as they pop up. If I watch 30 seconds of a TV show then need to pee I want to get up and pee, not have to keep watching because I don't want to interrupt the show for the person on the couch next to me.

I don't know, im happier without a GF, I do have friends and every once in a while watching a game or having a cookout or something is fun, but I like that I can leave and then kind of ignore them for a few days and no one is all butthurt because we are just friends.

realize that life is but a movie where you think you are in the movie, but in fact you are solely watching it play out infront of your eyes--->> which makes you realize that everything is perfect in a sea of infinite possibilities and you can easier learn to accept what is instead of thinking you have to worry, when you can't really change shit.

also realize that this universe is like a yin yang pendulum- for each amount of shitty time you have be sure as hell that you will have an equal amount of good times.

this took me out of suicidal depression many years ago.

you can't ever be "happy", but one thing to stop making you feel sad is to not give a single fuck about what other people think about you. conform if you truly feel you are bringing toxicity. Leave if you feel they are being too toxic. Don't try to get others to change for you, don't try to change yourself for others. yes i realize that statement conflicts with the toxic one from before, but what i mean by that is over all in the big picture, don't change your entire self for one person. Change it for everyone, or none at all. Nobody wants to see a fake you, you don't want to see yourself surrounded by fakeness.

this post is obviously coming from someone who isn't happy.

you can become a happy person through finding what happiness is to you. to some, happiness comes from having a nice job and a nice home with a loving family. to another, it may be dropping your ego and releasing the pressures from social constructs. to me it's about peace, zen and serenity. happiness isn't the same for everyone

>kill everyone who is happier than you
>you are now the happiest person alive

Things that you have hidden deep within yourself may come to surface when consuming psychedelics.
Things that perhaps have been the cause for your troubles all along.

The reason I do not declare it as "the answer" is simple. Only you can change the ways you perceive the world.
