What do you do? Do you sit around and not give a shit and try to be happy anyway? Do you say F*** it and change everything anyway?

Fake it 'til you make it. If you "act" happy for long enough, you'll cheer up.

If it doesn't make you happy, then fuck it. Fuck the lifestyle that is ONLY a safe haven to you. That doesn't mean to be reckless though. DONT BE RECKLESS. If you really are wanting to move on, think on it. Virtually create the next steps of your life in some sort of compiled list. But make it elaborate, if everything in your life is about to be vehemently tossed on the window, you better make damn sure you know where it lands.. That doesn't mean dont live a happy-go-lucky life, its just that the magnitude of change seems like its going to be so much u that you have to know where your going. Hoped this has helped you in some way to be decisicive about your problem.

It really depends on your life situation. There are a lot of things that you can do to change a sucky situation...the main one being changing your outlook.
If you elaborate more on what exactly is causing your unhappiness, you will probably get more detailed advice.
For my own part... I plan on moving to a new state and starting my 'own' life when I graduate from school. I'm not running from my problems..but I'm justing trying out something new.

do you already have something in mind that you feel led to do regarding making a change? If you're already unhappy and are feeling a 'tap on the shoulder' to do something else - do it.

Even if it means doing it afraid.

My husband and I did it and we are sooo glad we did.

I dunno, good question. I would say change is good. I would think in this case, you wouldnt be able to go back though. Maybe an extended vacation to clear your head. Might work, might not.

My point of view is that I want to do what God wants. He will see that I get what I truly want and need in its proper time and place. I know we are here in part to learn how to be happy, so if I am unhappy, I ask Him to show me what I am doing or not doing that is keeping me from being happy. My home is just where I happen to live. My love-life, if I had one, would be an eternal relationship, it would not be disposable. I would talk the situation over with her and we would work it out together with God. My job, again, would be a temporary thing that if I could leave if that is what is needed. Change is neither good nor bad in itself. In fact, we need to change once in a while to progress, to prepare us for our future.

In my experience life is not nearly so dramatic if you don't let it be. Do you really have to change your whole life to find happiness? You may think that's the case, but perhaps there are little ways that you can change to eventually steer your life to a more positive course. Address problems in your life head on, systematically and one by one, and soon you'll find that there's not that many things to be so miserable about.

Do what you will though. Running away should be a last resort!

I don't know if I should do what I want and loose my tuition money for college, my apartment, my car, my connection to the world, or just sit back and suck it up and not give a fuck anymore.
