What can make me feel happy?

Question

my parents just got divorced and i am depressed what can i do to be happy

Answer 1

Live your own life and understand that their failure is not yours.  

Answer 2

A wind session by your girlfriend probably would do the trick.

Answer 3

Time and exceptance it will be a while.  But you can over come this...

I don't really agree in going to a counselor to talk out your feeling talk you your parents (without taking any sides) if that does not work then you may have to see a counselor to talk it out....

Answer 4

Try listening to the song "Don't Worry, Be Happy".  If that does nothing, I find a really good pina colada (non-alcoholic will suffice) does the trick, usually anyway.

Answer 5

Love your parents and don't take sides.  

Answer 6

Outside of chemical solutions, there is no way that one can make themselves happy instantly.  Welcome to the real world.

What would be best would be if you could hook up with a counselor and talk through all your feelings about the divorce.  You'll do well to have someone objective and confidential to talk to who will probably be able to help you get back on track.  And what you learn at the counselors will be tools that will get you through the many more obstacles you'll face in life.

Getting high or drunk to relieve the pain or numbness is just a ticket to another h**l you don't need.

Answer 7

If you are depressed about their getting divorce, understand they did was was right for them.  If you are depressed because of yourself, figure out what it is and deal with it.  Life goes on whether you are depressed or not.  The world still revolves and the sun still comes up.  Depression will pass if you don't dwell on it and figure out what is causing it.
