I don't think I'll ever be happy. I'm so aware of it too, like I could be doing something to change it but its more so apart of my brain chemistry. What do I do?

i think you have to start by voluntarily breaking that loop your mind gets stuck in.

i get it, melancholy can cling to you like mud under your fingernails until you start associating it with who you are rather than something you're going through. i've felt that way too. but i genuinely believe everyone deserves to experience happiness at least once, because it feels pretty great, honestly. don't get me wrong, happiness isn't always that intense, fleeting feeling people tend to associate it with. sometimes it gradually becomes something quieter and more lasting, like feeling simply at peace with your life and comfortable with who you are. you're not doomed to feel this way forever and you don't have to figure it all out on your own either if you're open to make that change
