The reason why there is so little happiness in the world is dependency. Happiness is not dependent on 'anything' or 'anyone' or found 'anywhere'. We keep delaying our happiness until things are just right in our life. We think we will be happy in the future and then wonder why we are not happy now. Happiness is only possible when we are able to accept everyone as they are, at every moment, in every situation. That means an end to judging or resisting others, an end to complaining and blaming, an end to criticizing and controlling and an end to competing with anyone

The short answer to this question is, yes, you will feel happy again. I know what it's like to be so much in the dark that you don't even remember what happy looks or feels like. It could be right in front of you and you'd have no idea. I know what it's like to feel so down that it looks as if there is no way things are ever going to look up again. But, the good news is that those feelings, are not realistic. Now don't get me wrong, they're real feelings, but it's just your depression (or whatever else you might suffer from) talking. It wants you to think that there's no way out, that you'll always feel this way, that you have no hope, but it's a lie!
I have found that when I'm in my "dark place" in order to get out I need to start noticing the little things around me that put a smile on my face. They can be the smallest things like a simple funny picture scrolling across your news feed, or a friend sending a simple "hello, how are you" text message, or your loved one calling you up. Start a journal and every day list ONE thing you're thankful for that day, list one thing you're proud of accomplishing that day (even if it's something as simple as "I got out of bed" or "I ate today" or "I did a load of laundry") it doesn't matter, be proud of what you've done-because I know, it can be challenging to do anything when you feel like all is lost. Once you're able to start noticing the little things in life, start looking ahead and what you want your life to look like....even if it's for just the next week or hey, even just the next day, set goals.
I promise, things will start looking better....and I know you've probably heard that a million times and you might not even believe it....but sometimes-just knowing that other people believe in your is enough to give you that little nudge back toward the light.
Stay strong

You're killing yourself with all this negative energy. That's why you claim to be "dead" in a sense though you still feel physically alive. I feel what you feel sometimes, but then again you wouldn't be given so many problems if there weren't as many solutions open for you.
The first thing you should do is look in a mirror again and try telling yourself, "I want to die." If you really thought you had no more good in this world, you'd find it in yourself to say it. But otherwise, if you had any ounce of hope left in you, you would not be able to tell yourself such. I couldn't bring about me to say it.
You have given a lot of insight on things you have gotten and let go in this world. Have you ever tried muttering the words "thank you" to those things? Have you ever tried being grateful for the way you are? About how you're aware of your sadness and about how you want so much to be normal again? Have you ever been grateful to your love for keeping you company? A lot of people fail to see the blessing in the things that oppress them. You suffer to appreciate things more, I'd always say. Don't shame yourself; be thankful you still have you.
Another key to overcoming your situation is embracing it, not thinking ill of it. The more you think something's bad, the more it will aggravate you. Force yourself to laugh at the bad things in your life. Let your thoughts fly, and laugh at them as well. Maintain mental poise, keep yourself positive, and if you can... pray.
Dude, I must also tell you that depression in your case can lead to chronic diseases. You wouldn't want that to happen to you now, would you? And don't worry about getting back to normal. You already are; your mind just refuses to accept it and diverts your attention to something else.
Remember to always stand up and look to the sun of optimism, not to the ground of your problems. Good luck to you

As lord Buddha says, if you say " I Want Happiness" , all you have to do is remove 'I' which is ego and 'want' which is desire and all you are left with is 'happiness' ". Being selfless and working without desiring anything in return is the greatest happiness you can attain. :)

Try to remember the things that made you happy in the first place. Hobbies, for instance. Get your passion back and start it up again! The feeling you get when you do something you once loved again is beyond happy!

This is something that almost everybody goes through at least once in their life. Just know that it's okay. It's okay to feel down. Because tears teach you a lot more than smiles ever will. What matters however, is that you don't stay there forever. Darkness lets you shine,a lot brighter than before. So the best we can do is to look at it as an opportunity for growth.
And if you want to be happy...Try to realize that happiness is not a place to visit, it is rather a matter of choice. It is YOUR CHOICE.

Happiness comes from within sweetheart. There is no one who can make you as much happy as you can make yourself. Do things you love. Go out. Live. Travel. Explore. Wonder. Wander.Anything and everything. Get a makeover or try different kinds of food or get piercings or a tattoo. Do whatever you want to do. Happiness will prevail :*

If you chase happiness you'll never find it. Deal with the emotions you're experiencing right now. Don't neglect them by chasing a more pleasant one. Accept any sadness as temporary, you will get through it.
