Most of the 'advice' in this thread is crap. I've got one idea that I think could make you feel better.

Get a pet. A bunny, a dog, a cat... it doesn't matter. I've never been able to have a pet personally because my mother is allergic to fur, but people with pets generally seem happier, and I imagine the feeling of having a furry little animal to spend time with and wait on you would be good.

Honestly, I'm a miserable person myself. I can't tell you it's going to get better, because I know when I look at my own situation, I don't see it getting any better. The only thing to do is to keep yourself busy and hope you get lucky.

Don't listen to anyone who calls you ungrateful, or points to starving kids in Africa and says you have it so much better than them, be happy. That's not a reason to be happy. Those people have no sense of logic. I'm not going to be happy because a kid in Africa is starving. Really, that doesn't make me even giggle. I just feel worse that the world is so cruel. Happiness is a relative thing. Should starving people in Africa be happy because they're not fruit flies with a lifespan of approximately 30 minutes? Of course not. The things that make people happy are not material. They're things like friendship, love, peace, and creative expression. When a person is stripped of these things, it doesn't matter whether or not they know where their next meal is coming from, whether or not they have a disease, or whether or not they have a home. They won't feel like life is worth living. Everyone has a right to be sad, and no one can tell you otherwise.

Of course, there's a point where feeling sorry for yourself impedes your ability to make things better. Try not to let that happen. Force yourself to go and do things if only as a long term investment. It's the only way you'll feel proud of yourself later on. If you look back on your life and wonder if you'd only tried, would things be better now, you've failed yourself. There's no reason for that to happen.

Life is what it is. Just do your best.
