I feel like for a year and half now I have been failing a constant struggle to be happy. And it's one thing after another , I am barely keeping my head above it all.

There are things you do enjoy? Things that bring a smile. Go back a couple of years and remember the good times. Those things that you did like doing. Can you recapture those moments?
@Gusman My past has more hurtful memories than sweet ones. There is one thing that gives me a break from it all, but that was taken from me. The only thing that keeps me going right now is the promise for a better future, because nothing in my life right now makes me happy.
@jrcervin But there were sweet memories. Can you revisit the good ones? You can at least try. The thing that gave you a break from the heartache was taken away, that was one thing. Try the other stuff that was not painful for you?
@jrcervin If your sadness/depression lasts more than a week at a time then please see your Doctor. There are medications that do work. They slow the mind down and give you a rest from the constant torment. Please at least think about it. Maybe ring a help line for advice. I went through yearts of depression and saw my Doctor. Eventually I was able to put aside the negativity and am free from it now.
@Gusman Thank you so much for your care, I don't come here that often, so I sometimes answer late. Fortunately it's temporarily, it happens 1-2 times a month, and sometimes it get hard to move past it. I did see a profesional once. I felt OK after it but noticed one thing, people that went in and put looked like they had a lot more on their plate, and the list is quite long, so I prefer for them to get the help. I for now can still manage myself.
