You probably don't want to hear this, but there's no quick, easy fix. But I believe we can all find happiness. It takes time and effort though. You need to first make sure that you're on the best meds for your problems, and that they're working as effectively as possible. The last thing you want is to be making life altering decisions if your psychological conditions are impairing your judgement. As hard as it can be with agoraphobia you need to try and expand your social circle and support systems. (God provides this for many, but I don't like to push this at people.) Use them as a sounding board to confirm that your decision making is reasonable. Pursue things that give you a sense of purpose. If I read your profile correctly, it sounds like you're in an unfulfilling marriage. That can leave anyone feeling sad and alone. Once you have the things I mentioned previously established it might be time to evaluate this relationship. Find out if there's a way to change it so that it provides you with what you're looking for, or if it's actually part of the problem. Just make sure that you're not chasing an unrealistic notion of what love and marriage are all about. Because if that's the case happiness will continue to elude you.
You aren't dead. Thats a start.
Prozac =]
find jesus, some walnuts and some earl grey tea.
Rid of the negative things in ur life that make u feel this way.
feed the kids in Africa
If the meds and the therapy don't work, then why do you take them?
And there is no such thing as battling suicide. If you wanted to be dead, I'm sure you would be dead already right?
Cheer up!
jesus! he's the best and only way 2 a truly fulfilling life. try going 2 1 of ur local churches. many churches have contemporary worship services 2, if that's more ur style. good luck! i'll be praying!
poor baby xxxxx
Volunteer helping others takes your mind off of yourself..
Even an hour a week is good try it ...
Find the beauty in the sunset, in the Moon...sing a happy song...
If I may say...God can bring you joy if you let Him...
Maybe if you give the meds alittle while to take effect, it took awhile for me to feel better when I was on certain meds. I am so much happier these days, been off meds for a few years now. Hope things get better for you. =)
you should go out and get a job, make friends, but lots of coffee, get married, have kids,..... those things will fill your life with happiness. but make sure you pick the right people to do them with otherwise your life will end up the same way you began. Stay in therapy and tell your therapist how everything is going. Don't take pills, because they will not make you feel originally happy. If you already have all of those things, then try to make things better by making money and taking them out at awesome places. I hope this helps. Notify me/become my fan if you think youll need help along the way.... I will be sure to help you.
Don't turn to the christians at all costs!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you are on medication and on therapy then you must be suffering from a serious mental illness.
don't worry I am sure you have people who love and support you, look for them then find their happiness.
I am not qualified in these area but when I feel said I seek love so I might find some one to hug or someone to talk to as it always help's
also talk to people they might be happy to hear from you.
Think of all the things that you have & grateful of (count your blessings) , share your sadness to a close somene who understands (he/she doesnt have to say anything just listen).... & most of all PRay have a deep relationship with the LOrd.... Lift everything to HIM... I'm sure you wont feel hollow anymore... :)

You could be on the wrong medicine or the wrong combination of medicines- it took a few times before I was put on the right combination for me. Why are you sad? You said you were a husband, where is your wife.Try this -I was told that depression is anger turned inside out. Are you angry about anything? Write down what you are feeling-it may sound silly but, sometimes it works.
I really hope this helps!
What helps me sometimes is escaping so I listen to music..try it or try writting
Perhaps you have an unrealistic idea of what should "make" you happy?
Try to start simple....be happy because the sun is shining, you have home, you're educated, you have food.....focus on these things. Then start looking for more things to add to your list. Read some happy books by authors who make people laugh without sarcasm (Bill Bryson for instance...I loved his book "I'm a Stranger Here myself"---it cracked me up!), read the comics (Calvin and Hobbes, the Far Side), DON"T watch the news, watch happy movies (Under the Tuscan Sun, 50 first dates, Clue are some of my favorites). Rent and watch fun comics likes Abbott and Costello and Burns and Allen or I Love Lucy. (I'm naming the old comics b/c they tend to depend on humor vs. sarcasm and put downs).
Stop reading books on how to get yourself happy.....read books that ARE happy. Do you see the difference?
Being "happy" is not guaranteed. In fact, I think that at any given time most people feel "just ok" with the emotional extremes of happiness/bliss and sadness/depression being much more seldom.
For instance, today is Sunday. I woke up at 10:00, went to church for the 10:30 service (it was wonderful and fun), went to Pet Smart to buy a few toys for my cat, came home and played with my cat, took a long nap, cleaned the kitchen, watched some TV and now I'm here typing this message. I did nothing that should make me "happy" and I don't feel happy. I feel content. Except for church, this day was spent by myself and with God. It was good.
Happy? no.
Good? yes.
PS: There was a time when I was so depressed I did not think I would wake up in the morning. I kept a letter next to my bed entitled "in the event of my death" because I was sure my heart would stop beating. I would cry the moment I awoke and cry all day long. I could barely function. I lost 60 pounds and was so malnourished my hair fell out. This lasted two years. I made it through because I turned to God and started attending church. I went Sunday AM/PM, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings and when I wasn't at church I was reading books and the Bible. Many, many people suggested I should see a therapist, but I didn't have the money and I didn't want to take drugs. God was free. God and my friends got me through that time. I now believe in God with an unshakable faith because of this time. I also adopted a puppy from the pound. I felt sorry for him because his owner always cried. Sometimes, I have to lock him out of the room because he wouldn't let me cry in peace (LOL).
hey luke hope im not overstepping my boundires but there is always religion
WORK OUT your body will know what to do
Think good thoughts...not negative ones and stay close to friends and family. Sometimes helping someone less fortunate than you makes you feel good! Hope you feel better soon! :)
