Do NOT ever give up on being happy.
Have you ever felt as though even if your happy for some time, some thing comes along and screws it up? When that happens to me, I lose all hope for the future. But you will be happy again, even for a moment. Giving up is basically saying, "Here sadness! Come and get me!"
Some times, people who are generally depressed, become accustomed to being depressed. And when something good happens to them, their self esteem is SO low, that they try to make the good situation a negative situation because they don't believe it's happening to them.
I know that's lot of repeating and a it's a run on sentence, but I know people do it. I know people try to find something bad in a situation because they're so used to that. They feel that nothing can't be completely good, and purposefully harm themselves.
Try not to do that. It's tempting, but if you're happy, don't think of the negatives just to bring you down again. Look at something beautiful, and think, "Wow, I finally get my break." And let go of anything in the past that brought you down. Don't force yourself deeper in a ditch when you finally got the rope.
Remind yourself of the reasons why you would get happy. Do you have a particular talent? Some one you love? A dream you'd like to achieve? Something you accomplished? Be proud of those things, and think, "at least I have that." If you're happy, get on high. Make yourself even more happy. Go all out, babe, if you've been sad for so long, you deserve it. :)
