hmmm a tough one especially when you're going through it. i'm going through the exact same thing now for a long time and honestly there's no one correct way of getting out of it. I feel lucky enough to have found really nice friends around me who check upon me daily so try surrounding yourself with people who really are just nice and happy. highly likely they'd make you feel better!! Also, journaling might help if you're into it? I've recently started writing down all the good and the bad that happens to me at the end of everyday. Helps me calm down a bit (i've got anxiety) and not overthink much about the bad things, because at the end they really are not that big of a deal! also you feel better when you add up and get to see all the tiny good things that happen to you everyday!

i find that hanging out with friends helps me a lot, like the people that really make you laugh and feel good about yourself. that being said, it is totally okay to wallow in the sadness and feel it, because that is the only way it will ever pass. i would play sad music from a playlist and allow myself to cry for the duration of the playlist, then when it was over i would get up and try to do something else. this helps set a boundary while allowing you to feel the emotions and still be productive. also, find things that you love doing. for me, it was anything creative. making art that reflects how i'm feeling was a great outlet. eat good food, cry, hangout with friends, go to bookstores, cry, go to art galleries, redecorate your room, treat yourself to some new clothes, cry, do some yoga, go on an outside walk/hike, cry. and then wake-up every day and do the best that you can. it really does get better, i promise. sending hugs, you got this!!

iβve been where you are now.
i hate to use the word gratitude journaling or whatever but truly taking time to find and appreciate the small bits of goodness in your day can work wonders.
sometimes we are so caught up in our own worlds that we forget we are only one small part of something bigger than ourselves.
be present and attune yourself to your senses. find moments that bring you a sense of joy and wonder or even just things that went right today.
so much of our feelings of sadness are because weβre trying to escape the present, and the paradox is that being present is what will bring us out of that sadness.

sometimes i listen to comfort albums or songs to comfort me, or songs about transitioning through life (see: new scream - turnover). junk journaling helps situate me into a new environment too. writing. talking to old friends. i know everything will work itself out, as long as i keep moving in some direction
