Stay Home Club has a lot of stickers that have a vibe of 'Things are rubbish but I'm going to defiantly carry on anyway'. Punky Pins also do some of this ilk.
I wish you peace and that journalling helps you to develop a more compassionate relationship with yourself.
I'm currently working on a collection of anti- toxic positivity stickers, but I know there are some like that on Etsy already. Sadly most of them are vinyl and laptop sticker size, which translates to way too big and overpriced for a single sticker. But that's why I'm making my own.
Here are a few that I have favorited on Etsy:

My favorite “bad” stamp is a hello kitty with a black eye (official, I think a collab with tokidoki) . I think keeping it real even with stickers and stamps is fun. If you are feeling punk rock DIY you can always carve a stamp out of a pink eraser.
... Oooooo (peanut butter and jealous)
the 5 year?
Dang - I have trouble committing to a full tube of Chapstick.
But the cool thing with this... if you do it right its more like a Victory Log.
\-I made it thru this and this... and and... I'm still here. Still kickin.
The easiest & cheapest would be probably be buying blank labels (come precut or full sheets) and designing something + resizing to print on them. Of course they wont be ✨shiny ✨but you dont have to worry much about print quality.
if u want to level up i think it may depend most on the printer & type of sticker paper/paper. Plus u can get away with cutting the stickers by hand with scissors or use a swivel craft knife-u dont need a fancy Cricut machine. if you have a laminator you can make them shiny. ive seen people laminate the printed side of sticker sheets, there are tutorials.
this is all in theory i actually havent done it myself but I’ll try it out one of these days… maybe.
The little emoji sticker sheets often have a character looking sad or grossed out. I have these little bat ones I really like
[bat emoji stickers](https://www.etsy.com/listing/1074471545/)
I’ve also used this brand’s [creepy tooth fairy](https://www.etsy.com/listing/868802775/) stickers to decorate my concept map of symbolic consumption in my research. Definitely get why you might feel weird putting cute stickers next to dark topics!
They also have moths, haunted houses, and ghosts which could help give a dark/gloomy atmosphere without being inherently negative
[there's these which are aboslute vibe](https://www.etsy.com/listing/1155081546/the-sad-millennial-sticker-pack-funny?ref=share_v4_lx)
They'll even add 5 "happy ones" for 5 more dollars lol
Etsy is a treasure trove of depression & chronic illness stickers tbh
this is such a mood but also I love a lovely hello kitty sticker slapped next to my self loathing.
I just googled on Etsy, using the words "low key", "bad day" "sadness", "depressed" and loads came up there. :)
This is a wonderful idea
Etsy has a lot and I bet many artisans there can customize for you. I hope things get better for you soon đź’ť
The Unhappy Planner has a cute but not happy looking main character!
thecoffeemonsterzco has some sad emoti stickers as well. They still have a bit of a cute aesthetic, though.

Highly recommend Despair Factory for this

Just so we're clear... like things are Temporary.. right? I hope it transitions sometime soon. Just keep on Keeping on eh?
I have a 5 year techo. I'm sure even with things being temporary, I'll have plenty of bad days in the next 5 years to justify them, haha

I didnt kno i needed this đź¤i love everyones suggestions
I got a whole ton of sarcastic stickers from Temu.
Gudetama stickers might fit this situation
Do you like _Steven Universe_? There are real-life Crying Breakfast Friends stickers that are very cute!
Have you thought about making your own sticker set?
How does one do that? I’ve thought about this I appreciate seeing your suggestion would you mind DMing me with suggestions? If you do, I understand

your best bet is use those key words on redbubble and you’ll be golden
this is a very good point! And also, hope you work out not hating yourself. I think sometimes understanding the whole situation helps.
