[Onto]

Try and let go of the demand that you should be happy and life should be wonderful. This demand is paradoxically the root of most depression.

Is the purpose of human existence to be happy? Is that why God put us here? What a waste if that's the case.

Try and gain as much self-knowledge as you can by asking yourself some hard questions, like..."What would it take for me to be truly happy?"', "What needs to happen for that to come true?", "What is it about that which somehow prevents it from actually coming true?"...and so on, and so on. Every answer you come up with follow it up with another question that drills down deeper into that answer.

Do this type of questioning enough and you may discover something truly amazing about yourself and life in general. Do this enough and your anxiety may be replaced with wonderment and even downright laughter at the mission impossible of happiness and how we take ourselves, the others and this world so seriously.

I'm pretty sure God is looking down and laughing at our seriousness all the time, wondering when we are going to wake up and laugh with him.
