Are you....?

[Captain Pirate]

I am ALWAYS happy.
I have a happy outlook on life now.
Nothing can get me down anymore.
Should've had major A level exam stress and been rather torn up about this girl I thought I had something with being so suddenly unresponsive, but fuck that shit, it's sunny outside and I ate some ice cream. I'm happy again.
Every little thing gets me excited and cheery now

Hmm. No job at the moment (and a crappy market), all of the local gyms are unreasonably expensive, which means I'm going a bit stir-crazy. But my husband is awesome and I've got some plans for possible self-employment, so I'm in a better position than I could be.

Personally, I would hate being with someone like that because it would make me feel like they didn't trust me. My boyfriend is fine with other guys looking at me (and with me checking out other guys) because he knows I love him and that I'll never cheat. Likewise, I don't mind him enjoying a bit of eye-candy, because I know looking is all he'll do.

Not to insult the OP or his wife, but...yeah, I'm inclined to agree.

Twas more of a hyperbole you see, she doesn't like the idea of me looking at other girls at times, but she knows i do it, knows i am not getting ideas, because my eyes are on her more often ;D

...oh, okay, then. (I'd call that less "hyperbole" than "entirely different story," but ehh.)

DO IT YOU WILL NEVER EVER GET ANOTHER CHANCE

I swear to god if I got the opportunity again, I had the same thing happened to me and now I am kicking my self so hard for not taking it!

If it helps think of it this way, if you don't a real jerk will and leave her shattered, try and build a relationship or at least go there man!

Don't let anyone else tell you otherwise.

Good Luck and God Speed

Ehhh?in a nutshell, no. I?m not generally happy, and my CBT for my problems doesn?t start until next month. And I don?t think it?s just the fact that I?m a teenager, because one of my biggest problems is that I?m not like my peers at all. I actually don?t get myself, I don?t get other people, I don?t get my life, and I don?t get the world.

It could be worse, people always say, but it could be better? Why isn?t it better? Beats me. It?s both my fault and not my fault, but for some reason, I?m in a place where I?m unable to change it. And I can?t cry or self-harm. Why? That's another question that there?s apparently no answers for.

I should be going to bed now for another shitty exam tomorrow that I've done fuck all revision for and am finding difficult to care about.

 

[370999]

I can usually eat food and have a bed, that's all I really need. I'm a man of simple tests.

 

[217not237]

I've been very happy lately, which is fairly shocking, considering the fact that a few months ago I was incredibly depressed.

 

[MrShowerHead]

Not sure how I feel. Most of the time I have the neutral "It could always be much worse" feeling. Sure, I got all those damn health problems (Asthma, Rheumatoid Arthritis, both knees fucked up...) but... I don't know. It could be worse.

So, for now, I'll manage

 

[Daveman]

Rubbing it in are we?

I guess I'm alright I guess. Maybe a bit skewed by the fact that I'm taking 3rd year uni exams right now and could be better prepared.

Spoiler

There is zen in this and it has helped me immensely

 

[jpoon]

I am happy on many occasions. It's rarely a full time gig.

 

[Thespian]

I'm happy but I'm not content. I want to be way happier. And I shall be. I never want to be satisfied.

 

[Roroshi14]

I'm not happy, and its my own doing. For most of my life I have focused on having a joyful life, not necessarily a happy one. Most people would ask how can I have one but not the other, and to that I say happiness is based on what happens to your life, joy is a long lasting peace that you make yourself. It's the whole a square is a rectangle thing.

But even though I have peace and joy, I have completely ignored my happiness, in which I have perilously missed opportunities to have things happen that would result in a happy moment. A memory that I can look back on and re live the happiness. Usually to mask this feeling I smoke pot, which gives me a sense of relaxation (duh) but when I come down It looms over me like a dark ominous cloud.

Now I'm not always such a downer, just every so often, usually I'm positive (not happy, but not a negative person) and that makes life a brighter. I still think joy is more important, but happiness is important, just wished I had more of it.

Woah what a rant. Thank goodness no one reads these things after the 3rd page and if you do. I apologize for such a long comment. Haha.

 

[BlumiereBleck]

Socially happy? No. Mentally happy? No. The slightest things ruin my day, paranoia and obsessive compulsive disorder don't help either.

"I can't help envy, Up until now I've lived a boring life,
and plenty of people have done a lot more than I ever have.
But that is why I promise myself that I will do more than they ever will.

just remember the biggest and brightest of fires take a while to build up.

Great quote that made my day .

Happy? No . Why ? I don't know . I usually try to not think about it , but when i do boy is it depressing . Honestly the only reason i keep myself going is because of pride . I cannot let my mother outlive me , if she does then she was right and she wins . But i have no interest in anything . No dreams , no goals . I'm basically just coasting through life without doing anything. If i could i would give mine to someone more deserving , or someone who has their life cut short ( i.e children with a terminal illness ). My life is a life wasted .

 

[PUR3_GAM3R33]

No...I'm just not.

When I compare real life to the amazing things I can think up and dream about, then realizing that they'll never happen and that I'll have to stay in plain, boring reality it makes me incredibly depressed.

 

[Potato Dragon]

I'm happy sometimes, but almost always content.

 

[orangeban]

Right now? No. I'm depressed, self-hating, suicidal, tired, the works. Wednesday I get to see a doctor who I'm terrified of and I feel like I have to confess my deepest secrets to them, yay.

Give me a few weeks though, I'll perk up and feel absolutely awesome (one of the things the doctor is checking for is bipolar)
