I feel I am getting old.. wasting my life being sad..

I havent had some life changing experience.. i just slowly realize.. that i waste my life being sad.. idk even what happiness is.. could be.. just everyday troubles and struggles.. getting through the day…
How to be happy? Is it even possible..? Is there such thing as happiness..? Or life is meant to be a sad survival n suffering until the end.. :(

We will have trials.
Survival is necessary.
Not everyone broods over those facts.
Our brains , unfortunately, are wired differently than this who are not depressed.
I find accepting that I will be sad helps, odd as that sounds.
I try not to feel guilty about it.
I find watching something funny or down right silly helpful as it's hard to feel sad while laughing.
Writing seems to help many people, perhaps a journal?
It won't cure depression, but it will help you organize your thoughts and perhaps identify triggers.
