 I have very severe depression and anxiety. I have been on and off   multiple different meds and I am currently in the middle of my longest   run of going to therapy (about 3 months). I've been trying so very hard   to be positive and to be someone that people want to be around after i   was told that I'm "so negative that no one wants to be around me." The   thing is, I have been trying. I can't explain how hard I have tried to   be more positive and to not let the weight of the world and my life   weigh me down and keep me in a bad mood. I'm worried my girlfriend is   going to leave me because of my inability to be positive more. Please.   I'm begging anyone for advice, anecdotes, tips, anything to help me.   Please and thank you in advance for your time &lt;3
