Happiness

"The amount of happiness I got to experience while I heard that news[a news which made me happy] on that day is equivalent to the amount of sadness that I am experiencing now at this moment after hearing this news./that much only sadness is being experienced by me when I got to hear this news today. "

I guess the above fragments are not clear enough to state what I exactly mean. For a little more information on what I exactly want is, "I was tremendously happy to hear some news on that day but today I am that much only sad hearing this news today". Please help me to phrase the above sentence in a more accurate way with some apppropriate words.

Thanks in advance.

Something like this, perhaps: My happiness at that news then has just been offset/nullified/undone by my sadness at this news today.

Thanks Mr Micabwer..

But actually I meant was something like the 'degree of happiness is equal to the degree of sadness I am now experiencing but the happiness at that news then still exists as that news has no connection with this news.

Please can you help me out in this?

Please can you help me out in this?-- That's what I have done. Fiddling about with 'degrees' causes all impact to be lost from your statement.
