When you're going through rough patches you can trick yourself into feeling better.
If you meditate do that until you can slow down a bit. If not, take a hot bath and listen to some peaceful music. Epsom salt is nice here. Or just daydream and relax to calm down. Just do whatever you can to slow your thoughts. Even masturbate if your mind won't stop.
Then just sit with eyes closed and do a couple of things.
Without knowing exactly the time or place of the event, tell yourself "I will now feel as happy as the happiest time of my life." Just stay slow and repeat that a until you can feel your mood shift a bit. It doesn't have to be a full blown happy bomb, just a slight change in mood to start. Don't doubt or tell yourself it won't work as that sets different gears in motion.
After you feel that slight shift, start asking yourself honestly "why am I even happier now?" Don't make up or look for answers or doubt. Just keep asking yourself that almost mantra like, but spaced out a bit more.
If you can keep that stillness and go through these two thoughts it'll start shifting processes around a bit to help ease the bad stuff. Just keep it very simple and don't try to force anything. You can try joyful instead of happy as well, as sometimes you'll react to one better than the other.
