I spent the ages of 15 to 22 predominately suicidal, with moments of joy being the aberration. The only way to get through it and feel good at the other side is to finally take things back. Happiness is all about feeling the power you have over your situation. Everything you can do that makes you feel like you've accomplished something, everything you can change, do it. Start small and work your way up. Make little goals and be satisfied with small triumphs until bigger ones can come.
