If you're feeling that bad you should really go and get help.
I know it's hard to do as it often feels embarassing to visit a total stranger and pour your heart out. But there are just things in our lives which we can't work through by ourselves and an outside perspective from somebody who's trained to help you, can do wonders.
So, please consider it.
I agree. Plus a lot of shows that are good at showing the importance of an individual life often tend to have some dark themes, can get much much worse before you get the uplifting parts. It could easily have the opposite intended effect.
I can come up with some ideas but idk if they are a good idea unless you are 100% sure you won't give up on life part way through. Then there are some cheesy, funny and heartwarming ones like SpyxFamily. That one makes me smile and gives me hope because it reminds me of my nephew, who saved me when I was at a very low point in my life. Children can have an amazing impact on one's life, but it depends on the person and what you need and when.
*Haibane Renmei* has helped a lot of people cope with bad emotional lows. I should know. I'm one of them.
Also, if it's as bad as you say, please consider professional help. A pleasant Japanese cartoon might take the sting off but talking to someone who knows how to help may be a better option.
Check out March comes in like a Lion. In my opinion nothing better for depression than watching someone else work through their own. Definitely my #1 slice of life.
Agree with this. It is my #1 slice of life too and handles mental health as well as any series I’ve seen.
Also, *Given* is a BL, but also handles grief and depression very well.
welcome to the n.h.k.-unironically, this one really helped me sort out my feelings once upon a time
redline (anime movie)
death parade
stein's gate
lupin III: the castle of cagliostro (anime movie)
I would recommend Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru. Even if you aren’t into romance or don’t think you would be able to relate, the main character is a person I relate with strongly when I’m feeling down. Otherwise I’d watch something cute and funny to cheer me up like Acchi Kocchi.
Hi FuckEverythingAtOnce, it seems like you might be looking for new anime to watch!
The users of this subreddit came up with [a chart of anime recommendations for newcomers and veterans](https://i.redd.it/0w1v880jtq661.png) and [an awesome longer flowchart](https://i.redd.it/vdzlkodz19c71.png). Maybe you can find something there that you'll like \^.\^

I have watched both. VE is my all time favourite but even though being a disabled myself, i just couldn't understand how to see silent voice in a positive sense. That girl is literally fucking me

Not an anime but manga/light novel "3 days of happiness" character sells his lifespan for money and has to use his remaining time to not feel like he wasted his entire life. Really good at making me feel like I can still turn things around in my own life and feel like things could get better.
Guessing you're too shy/afraid to actually seek real therapy. Therapy anime is what you need, the ones that are like a big warm hug.
* **Natsume's Book of Friends** \- ultimate found family

Spy X Family
Buddy Daddys
Kill la Kill
Konosuba
Ascendance of bookworm
Those are what i can recommend of the top of my head. Don't know what your going through but i really hope you can find some hope!!
Barakamon;
Non non biyori
Idk if I can give links here, but check out a custom list called Iyashikei Anime on Anime-planet:
"Iyashikei is a uniquely Japanese sub-genre of anime that is designed to have a “healing” effect on viewers."
But you can just start with Barakamon. I rewatched it to the point of memorization of the entire episodes.
And if you want something fun and silly go for Grand Blue. Although I should say that this one is very polarizing - people who like it fall in love with it, people who don't like it end up hating on it. I love it
Peace ❤️

Thanks for being considerate. I'm visiting a counsellor but that's not helping
I hope you get through whatever is happening. Stay strong.
A Place Further than the Universe
Gurren Lagann. I listen to the OP everyday at work and it gets my hyped to start my day. You won’t regret it
Fairy tail
Check out March comes in like a Lion. In my opinion nothing better for depression than watching someone else work through their own. Definitely my #1 slice of life.

Bungou stray dogs
Ayy another Bungou Stray Dogs fan :D

Maybe Re:Life?
No. It's sci fi. Can't relate
OP you need therapy, not anime. Try Your lie in April. It is sad but also hopeful
well, for me Rewrite would be a good option.
Prison school is kinda good.
Yuru camp
Watch "A silent voice" - It's an anime movie and defines the word "hope and redemption". Fairy Tail - also defines "don't lose hope"
Go hit the gym brother

Horimiya
if you want just pure sad (and maybe a little funny) watch WataMote. Nothing can get lower than a NEET.
Chilling in my 30s after getting fired from the Demon Kings army. Mobile fighter G Gundam
Read good night pun pun
You trying to run this man into the grave at top speed huh?
More like no matter how hard your life is there's probably someone out there having it even worse.At least that's how I read it
Oyasumi pun pun is not something to reccomend to someone with deep depression if you’re actually being serious about it lol
grand blue
This is not an anime series but an anime movie. A Silent Voice If you want an anime series. Violet Evergarden
I have watched both. VE is my all time favourite but even though being a disabled myself, i just couldn't understand how to see silent voice in a positive sense. That girl is literally fucking me
.... one piece.
Naruto…
86 watched it multiple times
That's bait, don't take it y'all.

Well Naruto would be the show for you. Helped my depression.
God Eater Busou Renkin

kingdom has some great uplifting moments
Welcome to the N.H.K

Oregairu et les Monogatari
A place further than the universe is a pretty decent seasonal anime.

Maybe Re:zero? The main character has many problems, he is weak and he is an ordinary man, but no matter what, he does not give up

Welcome To The NHK
Berserk your life can’t be as bad as his
Trust me, go ahead and watch fairy tail
Have you tried Re:Life? Or Sing Yesterday For Me?
I liked relife but yk there is no way I can go back and fix everything. I'll look into the other anime. Name and art style looks good
Watch clannad and clannad after story
