Get help: Do a positive summary of a day lived: best thing you laughed at, best food you ate, good people you've interacted with.. Look at positive things in your environment and inside yourself, learn self care. Look at your past positive achievements and how they relate to your present. You might want to find a psychiatrist and psychologist to help you get optimal results via medication and talk therapy.
