Fake a smile, and it will help.

I ask people around me for a favor which I can do for them. Getting myself busy, meeting strangers, talking a lot help me go through this state.

I started getting organized and doing that I needed to do. I forced myself to do things even if I didn't want to. Personally being active helps.

Exercise. Hard, gruelling cardio like running, elliptical, lane swimming. Do that for three weeks (at least five days a week) and that feeling will lift and then fade.

You should do yoga while watching the sunrise. It's literally impossible to feel negative and sad while appreciating the wonder of the universe. ^^^jk

Develop a routine and full your spare time with interesting hobbies, not just sitting on the internet. Sorry I'm not trying to make assumptions, just that it was my personal experience. Too much time staring at a screen with no routine or hobbies.

You start being dead on the outside, than you'll decompose... but being dead on inside will be long gone before that.

Focus on the positive. Seems silly and useless at first. But the more you force yourself to see a positive in even the most negative situations the more it becomes instinct. Basically rewiring your brain.

And I do mean in everything. I start feeling that dread and I take a walk.. enjoy the small things, birds is a big lift to me. Watching em just doing their thing, pecking at stupid things. The way the sun hits a flower.. just how I do it.
