Why do I feel unhappy despite a good day?
Christmas was enjoyable and happy, it always is. I have loving, supporting parents and family. Nothing out of the ordinary happened..... but, I don't know, I don't feel happy..... I feel unhappy. But I don't know why. But I've sometimes felt like this, and thought of dying and whatnot. I don't like living. Why do I feel like this?

you might be a pessimist at heart. you might not be doing anything worthwhile or living up to some potential. the quickest and best way to feel good about yourself is to do nice, kind things for people who need it or you don't know. giving of yourself, your time is a great way to feel happy and no one needs to know who it came from. random acts of kindness. volunteer somewhere and know that your efforts and energy is helping someone else out.
there are times when i might just pay for the person behind me in a store or something that makes me feel good. when i lived in nyc there was a time this homeless man asked for some money to get something to eat. sometimes i give sometimes i don't. but this time i asked him what he wanted to eat and he mentioned a sandwich from the restaurant he was in front of was sufficient. instead i took him in and sat with him while he ate. that was years ago and i still feel good about that.
another time in nyc (can you tell i don't live there anymore) while on the subway i noticed this guy sneakily opening the backpack of this woman in front of him and i saw him take something out. i don't know what got into me, but i approached him and made him give back what he took. the woman and the guy were so surprised at my actions (i was too) that he got off at the next stop and she didn't even realize what was happening and didn't thank me, but i felt good that i intervened and helped her when she didn't even know she was being robbed.
if you can't do that, can you mentor kids? can you tutor little kids? troubled kids? visit the old folks in a home who don't get visitors? after playing checkers/chess with an old timer, that nice feeling you get when you leave is thanks enough.
We don't always feel happy all of the time. If it wasn't for bad or sad times, how would we know what a good time was? Life is full of ups and downs they say. So you stay strong and learn from the "downs". Unfortunately life has bad days, but the good days and what is yet to come will make it all worth while. Hard to believe sometimes, but it's true.
Get some counseling because it might help!
