>>6800300I had problems with depression or just chronic sadness this year, I made a lot of changes and I am feeling so much better now. I made better friends who I am getting closer with, I changed negative habits like listening to sad music and being a doormat, and I've made strides to become more sociable which is paying off actually. It's amazing how much some simple changes can really impact your life. To everyone reading this who might also be really sad, it does get better and a lot of it is mentality, bad things will always happen and you can either let those things dominate your life or you can push forward. People constantly say it is bad to "push things down" but that's necessary to get through life, you can't always keep bad things in the front of your mind. Eventually you will have to suppress negative thoughts deep down and forget about them in order to maintain happiness.
The absolute worst thing you can do is what OP is doing and just continue to ruminate on depressing thoughts and not try to counteract them or engage in a healthy activity.
