Forcing emotions is rarely good. Many times, it is best to keep them understood. If happiness is what you seek, the near future may seem bleak. I do not have much in terms of advice. I can say, however, that typical coping mechanisms will not always suffice.
You may find it helpful to leave and get out. Go outside in the sunlight, run and bask about. All too often, we are limited by what we see. Take a day to relax, and let your mind roam free. Be yourself; be who you are. Don't be afraid to wander too far.
If you want to be happy, there is no secret. It is not so simple as the responses of frequent. Happiness is subjective for every lion, big or small. No two felines will be similar at all. You must find what happiness is to you. Consider experimenting with new things, until no more can be added to your queue.
Friends, family, hobbies, and pleasures are all things to consider. Some may even recommend a bit of liquor. They're all solutions, but often fraught by delusions. Remember, critical is your attitude; true happiness is typically founded in gratitude.
Though, more importantly, remember it is rarely easy to live unsordidly. Times will come when you will feel sad. Keep in mind that this is not bad. Joy and depression coexist. Intertwined and dependent, they are like this. Consider a mountain, tall and impressive. Without a sea below for comparison, its height is subjective.
Measure your feels from the lowest point in your valley, and you may find that you're actually happy. Perhaps you have been happier in the past. If that is true, know that this too will not last. Life is always in motion, like a sinusoidal wave. Unless you die soon, you will not take your state to your grave.
Good times will come on their own. It will happen when you least expect it. Hehe.
