With your life, yourself, etc...I mean in general. Why or why not?

I would be, but events last year kinda cause random bouts of depression.

I'm probably happier than I was a few years ago though.

I don't really know. I'm bored, and I want to be doing something else, but there's nothing really bad happening in my life right now... I'm just waiting for the next stage in my life to get here.

No and No.

With your life, yourself, etc...I mean in general. Why or why not?

Yeah. My life isn't perfect--I'd rather make a bit more money and I wish my daughter still lived with me--but on the whole it's good. I'm very big on keeping an eye on perspective. I live in the US, which means that my material needs are better taken care of that at least half the people on the planet, probably closer to 80 or 85% of them. I'm well educated and have a job in the field I enjoy--not the best job, but a good one, and how many people can say that? My girlfriend and I have been together for six years now and we're still very much in love. I've got a beautiful daughter who makes me proud every day to be her dad. To bitch about my life, even on a horrible day, would be ridiculous.

In General?
General is sucking right now.

I am happy, but I fear it is fleeting for the moment. Generally, I am stoic/bordering on happy, though I do enjoy a good gloom or bout of justifiable rage. But I am happy because I am listening "Circle of Hands" by Uriah Heep. That is the ultimate happy song.

My family is moving in a few months, and I'm not going with them. I have to find a place to live, go to school, and work to pay for it all. My boyfriend and his family might be moving to another province. I can't get into the university I want. To be honest, I'm scared to death.

But I am happy.

Ectasy is good for that purpose.

How? Do you do something or it comes natural?

right now i have no idea what i feel

right now i have no idea what i feel

Me neither. How is that possible?

Yes, I am happy in general. It's great to be alive, and life is an adventure. Not everything goes my way, of course, but I wouldn't trade my experience of living my life for anything.

Feelin' fine. :)

How? Do you do something or it comes natural?

I'm not happy all the time, don't make that mistake! :p But... it's all about the big picture. And perspective. I'm in love. I won't let anything happen to me, and he won't let anything happen to me. I finally get my own place to hang the paintings I bought on a whim, but had no where to put at the time.

And besides, happiness is a choice. It certainly doesn't always seem like it, and perhaps the idea itself is cliche, but it's true. So some days I am stressed out of my mind, some days I'm screaming 'fuck you', and some days I'm on the brink of tears, but when I have the chance, I choose to be happy.

I'm happy and I know it so I crapped my pants!



What? ... I was supposed to clap my hands?


*Sigh*

...school starts up again next week, I'm owed thousands of dollars I'm not likely to see, my dad is sick and I still don't know what's going to happen, I have to deal with moving again soon, and I'm still single...

...but for some reason, I've never been happier. I couldn't really tell you why. :)

My self-esteem's been on the up recently, so yes, I'd say I'm fairly happy with myself.

I am doing good right now. My wife has returned to Japan, so for the first time in 2-1/2 years (not to mention the first time since we were married) we're living together again. I love what I am doing for a living, though I am a bit sad that the end to JET is coming up in August, and money wise I'm doing ok.

I'm also scared out of my skull, but that's due more to the very good possibility of an upcoming change in status, but I'm told just about every guy is like that at this time so...

Not really "happy" as such, but then again I do lead a comfortable life, so i'm thankful for small mercies. :)

Dammit dont you people listen too me?? Ectasy is a dangerous drug!

In general, yeah I'm pretty happy. My life's not perfect, and I have my down days like everyone else on the planet, but on the whole I really can't complain. Sometimes I wish I had more money, but then I think that's silly because I'm better off right now than many people in the world can even imagine. Sometimes I get sad when I think about not fulfilling my potential when I was in college, but then I remember that everything is relative and I still learned a ton. Sometimes I despair of ever paying off my seemingly endless undergrad loans, but then I recall that I'm more fortunate than a lot of people who didn't get the chance to attend university even when they wanted to. And so on and so forth.

I've been fortunate enough to have received an excellent education throughout my life, for which I am grateful. I have parents and friends who love me, and a boyfriend of nearly four years who truly cares about me. I'm in good health both physically and emotionally. My goals for the next few years of my life are ones that I'm almost certain I can achieve. So, it's like I said; some days are worse than others, but generally speaking I'm quite content with my lot in life.

Very true...eats holes in your brain.

...which is why I never touch the stuff. I'm just naturally odd. ;)

hug me...

No, but at the moment I am feeling happy.

I am constantly asked if I am high....

in fact just today, a friend asked me after I climbed through his window if I had ever smoked pot.

No, btw.

My neck hurts a bit, and my lips are all chapped, and I should have gone to bed an hour ago, and I almost hit a pedestrian today, and a few other things, but I'm still happy. Things are finally going well for me, I think. I've got real friends for once, who listen to me, and care about me, and who invite me fun places I actually want to go. If I don't blow auditions, I've got a chance of taking a wild stab at the only thing I really want to do with my life, which is theatre. I'm in a show right now. I'm top or very close to it in all my classes right now. My mother loves me and my father buys me diamond necklaces. My sister loves me and buys me booze. My cupboard is full of Triscuit crackers. I saw your girlfriend kissing another boy. At least two of my grad photos were decent. Tess of the D'urbervilles is a good book. I haven't had a 1984 themed dream in a week. I have more juicy fruit gum than I could ever chew. My bunny loves me unconditionally, like I'm god, or something. I probably am god, or something. My prom dress makes my skin glow. I went for a run today. I'm gonna look you in the eyes again some day, I swear to god, and I don't care if you look back. I've just downloaded four great songs. Three years later, my watch is still working. This peculiar snow is almost gone.

Happy as a well-fed puppy :D

Got my new laptop yesterday, got a good job, a fiancee, own my own apartment, I'm healthy, got money... now that I think of it, I've never been better:D

Mostly happy.

I'm healthy, and so is my cat.
I've got a good job, a bit boring at times, but ok. And nice salary.
I'm in love with my boyfriend, and I'm going to see him again this weekend.
I've got everything I need plus some more, and if my boyfriend's car hadn't broken down yesterday making it a bit more difficult for us to meet this weekend, I's be perfectly happy. As it is, I'm just plain happy :D

hug me...

*hugs* :fluffle:

Hell no, and oddly I'm happy with my discontention. A paradox.

My life sucks, bad luck follows me about, nothing goes well... and oddly I find a contention with it.

So meh. I can't complain. I've met people who have far worse lives than I do, so yeah. At least I wasn't beaten/raped/starved/tortured as a child. So really, I don't complain. I bitch those out whom complain because mommy and daddy stop paying their telephone bill...

A tangent.

Anywho, to sum it all up: My view of my life is scewed largely due to clinical depression. And rather rotten childhood. But it could have been worse.

I can say I'm mostly happy.

1.I live in a good place - Milan, Italy - in a decent apartment. Ok, I could live in a better place or city or country and have more money, but my place and my lifestyle are clearly above the world average.
2.My sentimental relationship goes fine, I'm ok with my parents and relatives most of the time, I got a lot of friends.
3.I'm working part-time in a mostly-ok workplace and with good colleagues, and plodding towards my laurea magistralis.
4.The political situation here could be worse - hey, with Berlusconi it was worse, although the Prodi cabinet isn't giving me metaphorical orgasms, apart from the UN intervention in Lebanon...
5.I don't have any health problem, and I'm just a little overweight (+7% of my ideal weight)...

Yea, my life isn't perfect, but is quite good.

I think.

well, last thursday i was extremely happy. my exams were better than expected. i was halfway trough the exam period (still 2 weeks to go :(). we went to a party (it had been a while, like more than a week and a few days *shudder*). so yeah, i was extatic then.
but now i have to study, and i don't like it, and i'm not getting stuff done. so that makes me somewhat unhappy.
but on the other hand i'm home alone, i'm listening to music i enjoy, i'm going to cook some food in a few moments and there is the possibility that i go out this weekend.

so i guess i'm neutral at the moment.

Depends. I'm bipolar.
Mostly I'm depressed. But sometimes I'm scarily happy.

With your life, yourself, etc...I mean in general. Why or why not?

kinda. its complicated.

on a day-to-day basis i'm pretty ok, but on a larger perspective i don't like my job, don't know what i'm gonna do next or where i'm gonna go, am still on medication for clinical depression, want to move to a different country, and i hate my body, and often myself in general.
so as long as i don't think about any of that, i'm fine :p

I am constantly asked if I am high....

in fact just today, a friend asked me after I climbed through his window if I had ever smoked pot.

No, btw.

I have, but I got asked by people if I knew anyone that could hook them up with some stuff even more before I had. :p

no, i don't know what i'm doing or why i'm doing it or why i can't change, this upsets me somewhat.

no, i don't know what i'm doing or why i'm doing it or why i can't change, this upsets me somewhat.Meh. I've gotten used to the fact that a good deal of depression is part of my life. I just make sure to make the most of the times when I'm not.

In general I am pretty happy with my life, yeah.

This week, I am going insane, I haven't been able to do anything that I usually do since the 9th, and now it's the 18th and another big ugly storm is coming in tomorrow which will ruin this weekend (we will be snowed in) and next week as well probably........the weather man claims that we probably won't get back to normal life until February.....

:mad:

With your life, yourself, etc...I mean in general. Why or why not?

I couldn't be happier. Why? Because I'm so freakin happy I have the awesome gift of life. I only get one shot at it, so I might as well enjoy the time I have.

very happy I have no real responsibilities, no worries, limitless sources of love and just a general feeling of laidback happiness/apathy

plus I don’t have very much and what I do have I share which helps :)

I'm pretty happy. There are details I might change, sure, but all in all, I'm happy. I'll be even happier in a couple of months when it isn't dark when I get up and dark when I get home.

Give me a job and I'll be happier than a pig in shit.

But seeing as I'm unemployed...yeah, kinda.

Give me a job and I'll be happier than a pig in shit.

happy?

I'm happy sometimes. recently, it's not been so good. First off, I left for Navy boot camp which sucked. Being away from friends and family. Then I go to technical training where my girlfriend breaks up with me (a serious blow to my happiness) as well as having a less than great reltaionship with my father. Right now, I'm in a different country, alone (no fasmily or girlfriend) I'm sore right now, and my job is dangerous.

That's just a few things. Oh yeah, I've suffered from depression (not clinical I'm gonna kill myself depression but the other kind)

Right now, I'm in a different country, alone

but you have the people of NSG :fluffle: *knows that it will be a perk to know someone in the Navy*

but you have the people of NSG :fluffle: *knows that it will be a perk to know someone in the Navy*

Now I have a reason to live...for another day

Here's a fluffle in return:fluffle:

What's the perk for knowing someone in the Navy?

Mostly. No middle ground with me. Depressed and lethargic or happy and bouncing-off-the-walls hyper. Though, experience of the first does help one to appreciate the latter. Better than being happy all the time and therefore not valuing it. Or something like that. Feel my wisdom! (Just my wisdom, mind).

I have mood swings. I am happy with life in general, but I am unhappy with my current situation(s) and there's little I can (or should) do about them right now. It is nice to see the light at the end of the tunnel, which makes me happy.

As might be guessed, I don't really care.

I just continue to stay alive and if I end up happy, yay. If not, meh. Yeah, it's probably a choice or something, but in Soviet Russia, choices make you.

Of course not, and primarily because the world in which I live, from a national, to personal plane, is singularly mediocre.

What's the perk for knowing someone in the Navy?

same as knowing anyone else in the military you can pull strings and these strings allow a sexy CBT medic like lets say me to have his own way (and a blind eye to all the people I’m going to kill >.>)

Of course not, and primarily because the world in which I live, from a national, to personal plane, is singularly mediocre.

try taking acid to fix that ;)

happy?
No. That's not giving me a job, that's giving me a job application. But I take your point. I'll rephrase: Give me a job I want, and I'll be happier than a pig in shit.

Meh. I've gotten used to the fact that a good deal of depression is part of my life. I just make sure to make the most of the times when I'm not.

i don't want to give in to being miserable though. i want to fix myself.

Right now, not really all that much, as I've got an awful lot of stress for about three weeks into the future. After that I'll start feeling a lot better.

*hugs* :fluffle:

Thank you! :D

No, my life's pretty redundant and boring. No luck finding a job, either. :(

No, my life's pretty redundant and boring. No luck finding a job, either. :(So is mine, I guess, and same about the job - but I'm ridiculously happy.
