You feel like you're lying to yourself. Why? The usual reason is that the affirmations you are using are too faraway from your current situation.

For example, you may feel downright depressed. But you pick an affirmation like "I am so glad to be alive!". Basically this is too faraway from where you currently are, and therefore you feel that you're lying to yourself.

What you need to do is to reach for slightly better thoughts, slightly better thoughts, slightly better thoughts ..... and keep reaching, again and again. See Abraham Hicks books for examples.
