Attempting to be genuinely happy, financial troubles, dealing with toxic relatives...

The attempt is important. Attempt sort of sounds like jump, right? Or better yet, leap(t). I know I am cheating but just phonetically sound it in your head. Attempt, leap. Attempt, leap.
Have you ever leap between those parking bumpers in the parking lots that are on the ground? Just playing around, leaping from one bumper to the next? Have you ever missed your mark and tripped up? Fell maybe? Hurt, probably. I had done it. Thought I sprained my ankle once but just bruised it. What can I say, I do not like pain.
But have you ever leaped with a heavy bag on? Or carrying three sandbags in your arms? No? I suggest you do not do this because it is horrendously a bad idea.
You have a lot of baggage you are dealing with. That is okay. Financial, family, those are pretty big heavy mental baggage. Attempting to be happy while you have those on your shoulders is a challenge.
However, I am glad that you are making those leaps to understand how heavy those challenges are. Not saying you still can not be happy with that weight on, but once you take care of those that are weighing you down, those leaps to happiness shall bring you all around the neighborhood.
