Ironically, although a change of mindset has to come from you, I don't think you can force these things. If the joy is gone -- and I believe you that your world has gone dark -- it's time to be kinder on yourself rather than tougher. Try the most potent of Louise Hay's affirmations:
I love and approve of myself, exactly as I am.
So, you don't have to make yourself feel thankful for what you have, it's okay to say "This isn't enough!" and let yourself feel whatever comes up. You don't have to be afraid of your anger, only to avoid directing it at yourself.
As a good therapist once said to me, "The only way out is through".
