I've been feeling the same way for awhile until I got so sick of it. I removed junk out of my room, cleaned it, went for a walk to clear my mind then out on some happy music, wrote to my friends and just did a total self revamp. Hope this help I really recommend it.

I know what you mean. I've always been like that and now I feel like I'm trapped that way.

Ok, these things totally helped me when I feel like that.

#1
make a list of inspiring quotes. It helped me a lot (you can see my other posts).

#2
Make a list of things that make you happy.

#3
Listen to music to help you. I once listened to Taylor Swift's "teardrops on my guitar" all night once. it really does help.

Hi there! Do you happen to know why you are unhappy right now? Is there something going on in your life that is giving you trouble? It can be hard if you are going through stressful times or just some difficult times, but you can get through it. Try focusing on some of the positive things in your life. I know at times it may be difficult, but it works for a lot of people. For me, when I am feeling down I like to write down at least 3 things I am thankful for or that are positive things in my life. It really reminds me that things are not all that bad and I feel better when I focus on the positives. Also, meditation helps some people clear their mind and find some peace as well.

There are some articles that may be helpful for you in the Resource Center. There is a section for motivation and for wellness that I think can help you. Here's one that I particularly like:

Optimism and the Power of Positive Thinking


Hope this helps! Let me know if there is something I can help with.
