What makes you happy and why?

[Medulla]

Lately it's been sad boi hours nearly everyday , finished with my essays and exams for now, but by doing this I've opened myself up to the fact I'm not happy . I've been trying to get into things that make me happy again like playing instruments ,reading and basketball but it's not enough. I've even been spending more time in the gym still doesn't do anything for me , my mind is cloudy and sadness feels like my default setting these days. I'm not depressed not by long shot but this lingering feeling of sadness is lowkey not it .

Let me know what makes you happy I'm trying to find new things to do to boost my mood. I've been considering volunteering for a charity of something to occupy my time ,but I don't know if that helps or just ignores the issue O.O.

Negative news is literally the only thing I see these days I hardly see an article that isn't mood killer. What would you suggest as a positive video/channel, I used to watch comedy show's but the good ones are far and few between. I feel like I'm fulfilled I'm doing everything I've ever wanted in life , I don't think one can truly ever have peace of mind something always exist that effects me to some extent.

I'm just starting to feel England is cursed cause I didn't feel this way back home , I'm not even homesick which confuses me even more.

But don't listen to me I'm on the same boat as you.

It's Gucci I like reading books takes me to my own reality but once I'm done it's straight back to earth.

Video games is a good way to relax, overwatch will calm your mind, but I dont play anymore.

Sleep is the best way to relax.

I'll be in America this year hopefully for a exchange, maybe I'll feel different once I'm stateside LOL . I use social media for my brand and that's pretty much it I'm not bothered by superficial things. I have a good friendship group here in Uni one of the few things that brings my mood up XD. I'll try some motivational videos my brothers love those kinds of videos. Thank for the advice!

Currently studying in the UK my country is never cold , this country just rains all day aside from today its a bit sunny. I don't think I'm depressed if that's the case this shit is garbage, it's just a constant state of no emotions I want my normal mood back

Rice and fish for breakfast < This never changes

Pasta with simple tomato /white sauce , Chicken/Veg Wrap

Dinner: Just a salad cause I'm most likely full

I don't drink soda so water as my beverage for all meals.

Better gut better mental health.

I used to be suicidal and I went to my doctor, he asked me what I ate and he told me to start eating healthier and I started getting normal, I am now happy most of the time.

I am not saying eating healthy cured my depression but it sure lowered it significantly.

Key to happiness is satisfaction. If your never satisfied with what you have or where you are in life, you’ll never be happy. You could be satisfied and still better yourself tho. Just know that other people have it worse and say alx and keep moving forward.
