You have to get out of thinking about the self. Have you ever met someone who was happy while being focused on the self? No. How about a person feeling sad? It’s universal. What about other animals, you think they’re caught up in self?
The less you think about yourself the better. You’re not going to get out of this by thinking, your best thinking got you here. Staying in the present moment without any judgements on it or yourself, not identifying with the past or the future, just being aware of what is around you right now. You will fail in this often like everyone else, but the key is to practice it and recognize when you’re caught up in self and refocus. It takes a lot of practice but it’s worth it. Meditation and prayer is an important part of developing this present awareness. Also walk outside a lot, watch the birds, appreciate the beauty of nature, listen to beautiful music, watch movies, cook good food, visit with people.
Don’t feel sorry for yourself, trust negative emotions, drink or use any drugs
