I totally understand where you’re coming from because depression makes me feel the exact same way sometimes. I think the big problem is that we always think that after we accomplish this thing or that or after this thing is said and done, we can be happy. But if you view happiness as an endpoint, it won’t ever happen the way you want. After you get out of this situation, there will be another one, and that’s okay because that’s life. But I think you just have to focus on enjoying the process. Find the good things in the bad times and focus on those. I know that’s so much easier said than done, but if you keep your mind focused on the things worth being happy about in the present moment, things start to feel easier. And if that doesn’t fix things, it might at least help take some weight off your shoulders for the time being. I hope that helped; keep your head up. :)

You don't have to get ahead of yourself....but you can let yourself relax and enjoy the moment. Depression is not a "living form" that knows when to strike you down. It's not organic.

Enjoy the good times when you have them, because for most people with a serious Chemically based Mood Disorder like Depression, they don't happen regularly, but they do have the power to give you a boost when they are there.

Sometimes looking at the glass half-full is a better way to see things.

I understand how you feel. something always goes wrong but occasionally something goes right so I vote for enjoying it while you can.
