Despite some of the comments, you can build a happy life for yourself one step at a time.
I am not a professional—-please don’t DM me or take this as professional advice.
Yes, focus on the present, as others have suggested—-and then make sure to do something that comforts you or brings you joy in the present.
For example, put down the phone and read a book. Go for a walk or jog and enjoy the scenery. Pick up a journal, and write about your thoughts. Recite a mantra or prayer while breathing. Stretch while listening to music.
These are just examples. Everyone has their own way to find joy and comfort.
The best advice: seek real help from professionals—-not here on HN.
