Totally agree with ya sistaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar, except on the relationships thing, cuz they can cause about as much distress as they do happiness, and plenty of ppl find happiness in solitude rather than society. Real happiness doesn't exist, you're never gonna be 100% dancing in clouds of euphoria, the problem is ppl believe they have rights, that they mean sumthin, so therefore they should be happy and will fall apart at the smallest upset (cuz why me???!!!). Life aint full of ups and downs its one big fuckin tunnel, that ure bein ushered along tryin to piece together the many events ure perceiving, you can construct them to be good or bad dependin on which way u wanna look at it, the problem comes from takin advice from ppl, listenin too and respecting certain ppl, this fills ure head with all sorts of pre-conceptions(brainwashing, truths u believe are true without puttin to much thought in to why u believe them, or seeing proof), which were formed that long ago that you will rarely question the validity of them, but you know they must be right (think about the 'basics' of morale right and wrong) theres no set way to bein content/happy/to lead a 'constructive' life, find solace in the fact you can do whatever the fuck you want with ure time but the world around you still spins, but you are completely powerless to stopping everything that may cause you distress, so deal with it whichever way ure comfortable with, that includes suicide. I'm not tellin you an answer of any sort, jus statin that life throws a lot of shite at you, and you can hear as many times as you want 'Hey come on its worth it, look at all the good things' but both those ideas are based on opinion, its up to you to get ureself out of the black hole of thoughts, cuz the universe is much like Dr. Denis Leary and his 'Shut the fuck up' method of psychiatry. You can piss and moan all you want, but actually start prying in to the why's? of ure depression, and try and change it, and ure attitude towards that negative area in ure life will also change. Yeh ppl will be there to giv u another point of view, but it will always boil down to ure perception of that event, and this perception is the only one that really matters.
