How do I say this? Is this correct?
 
I can't seem to figure this out on my own, so I decided to post it here.

私は悲しいなかったでしたがあの人は私を幸せしますよ !
Watashi wa kanashii nakatta deshita ga anohito wa watashi o shiawase shimasu yo!
I was sad, but, he made me happy!

Any help given will be highly appreciated.

I would say it like this:

悲しかったけど、彼のおかげで元気になりました。

I was sad, but thanks to him I am in a good mood now.

maybe....or maybe not...

I am not going to make fun of someone who is trying, but that sentence was a little gruff, and more than a little...screwy.

If you want vulgar, listen to some 大阪人 speak to each other ;p

Please...there's nothing vulgar about the way Osaka people speak. It's actually very difficult to speak "vulgar (offensive)" language in Japanese. Tokyoites sometimes consider the Kansai dialect people from Osaka use direct and intimidating, but I don't think saying "vulgar" is fair.

The majority of the most popular comedians are from the Kansai area (including Osaka). Again, the style is direct and Osaka people are accustomed to poking fun at each other and themselves more than in Tokyo, so that's why they become more popular in comedy.
