    Not elated but not sad either. Somewhere in the middle.

    I’m 50/50 right now. Not happy that I’m unemployed but happy that it means spending more time with my loved ones.

    I’m content. Happy is an exclamation point or an orgasm and it diminishes with overuse. Don’t try for full-time happiness. It’s unsustainable.

    Right now? Content as shit. Anxious, but that’s not uncommon nowadays.

    Mm. Mid. In my feelings because it’s my first mother’s day without my mom, but I had a relaxing weekend, ate a good dinner, and I’m gonna go take a nice bath soon.

    I’m ok, my mother got angry at me for not telling her happy Mother’s Day, so she kept making passive aggressive comments. At some point she left the house for 2 hours and no one knew where she went, so my happiness is at a 5 right now.

    I’m very happy in my life. I’m in the middle of revising for my final exams. I should be asleep but I was awakened, so I’m on Reddit.

    On the road to getting the job I want, always hanging out with friends. Playing spikeball, fishing or going for beers. But It feels like none of it matters because when I get home there’s no one to share it with

    Got a good paying job, a nice little family, good credit, decent cash buildup in the bank.. but still somehow unhappy. 5/10… life’s stressful. As a man it takes different forms

  25. dustinmypants Avatar

    I’d say 8.5/10. My wife and family life is great, i genuinely look forward to being home and present with my kids and even more so when my wife get our 1.5hr alone time after they go to bed to just sit on the couch and hang out. Work is work. My mom passed last year suddenly and my dad is trying to get by on his own but he knows he’s going to have to come live with us soon as his situation is a mild fall away from terrible. Watching your parents get old is not easy and having the first Mother’s Day without my mom was hard.

    I feel very happy. I just had a good journaling session writing all the things I’m thankful for and it puts me in a great mood. My body is sore from preparing for a marathon coming up and running a lot. but that’s my only complaint.

    About a 7/10. Life Isnt bad at all but It could be better of course. Grateful for what I have and what Ive accomplished but I am missing something. We should all be grateful for life, health, and family/great friends though. Things could always be worse

  42. littlerasian Avatar

    You know… I’m a 10/10 and it feels so nice to share that with everyone.
    The past 7 months- I have been so depressed, lonely, angry, self isolating.
    It’s However, the weather improved in Southern California the last week which helps.
    I spent a lot of that time in the gym and the last 3 months totally cleaning up my diet.
    I started surfing again ( I lost the passion for it 2 years ago)
    People are actually verbally commenting about how great I look which is a huge confidence booster.
    The reason I’m sharing all this is because I want people out there that aren’t doing well to know,
    IT DOES GET BETTER, IT REALLY DOES. BUT YOU HAVE TO PUT IN THE EFFORT. Nothing changes if nothing changes is the simplest most obvious quote but it really is the magic words. Change anything, how you dry yourself off with a towel after the shower, how you brush your teeth. The way you take to work. The music you listen to. The habits you do at night. Anything. Change anything.

  55. Irish-Fritter Avatar

    So few realize that happiness is a choice.

    You spend so much time in your life dreaming of the day when you’ll be happy. X dollars a paycheck, a massive house, kids, travel, etc. You spend your whole life dreaming of being happy, and when you get there, you find yourself just as miserable as you were before, because those things won’t make you any more happy.

    You spend so much time in your life bemoaning all the terrible things in your life. Shitty job, shitty car, shitty boss, shitty friends, shitty country, shitty president, shitty everything. You spend so much time thinking about how shitty things are, that you cannot see anything good right in front of you.

    Happiness is in 3 parts. The first is easy. Stop complaining about the things you can’t change. Stop giving those things the attention they don’t deserve.

    Next, put all your dreams on the backburner. They’re nice to have, and we all love goals, but there can be an u healthy fixation on the future, that inevitably results in disappointment when you get there, as the future is inevitably imperfect.

    Finally, find something to smile about every day. This must be a conscious choice on your part, choosing to find the silver lining in a bad day. It’s raining? I love the smell of rain! Have to go to your shitty 9-5? This coffee is pretty good!

    The thing about Life, is that it will always be Today, never be Yesterday, and Tomorrow will never come. You will always have a shitty job, you’ll never go back to when things were good, and you will always dream of something better than what you have now.

    The key to Life is choosing to be Happy. You may not always succeed. There are days when life is truly in the shitter. But you must keep trying to see even the tiniest fragment of joy in your days.

    My friends, Life is not there for you. Your friends, your family? They are not responsible for your happiness.

    If you want to be Happy? That is up to you. Choose wisely.

  77. charcoalritual Avatar

    Not at all. Every time I move a few steps forward, I get thrown down the stair case. Every. Single. Time. I’m usually optimistic, and get back up and start again. I’m at a point where I might give up. I don’t want to give up. I have kids. But my husband’s sickness is eating me alive. I’m in constant fight or flight mode. I’m sick. He’s sick. His mental health is eating me up and I don’t know how to help him anymore.

    Even if I was to take a holiday alone, or do something on my own, I have to come back to this. To reality. I have people who love me, but love isn’t enough when I’m the one who takes all the burden. All the pain.

    My kids are great amazing kids even though life is hard. I don’t know what to do anymore.

    Sorry guys just venting but thanks for asking because I didn’t realize how unhappy I was

    i feel really happy right now (despite having a load of work for the last year of high school). someone complimented my eyes, and today while i was sharing business ideas, my group complimented it saying it was genius. i presented it to the visitor quizzing us and he said something similar. also looking forward to studying my passions in the future. in the future i want to build a business to help people (not gonna share the idea here just in case), and to study psychology to help people. i might do engineering robotics since its important not to be too dependent in the future on something i don’t understand yet and to help people, as well as biology to help the environment in the future. i also enjoyed violin class (no my family is not well off at all, violin classes are free here in school. and there’s always online tutorials. (got violin for extremely cheap). i hope to make a decent living in the future though).

I don’t do anything at all and am stuck in bed most days. The things keeping me somewhat happy are my friends (even though 99% of them are online), watching a TV series, and watching sports. I have things I want to do but can’t gather the motivation to do them. Just bedrotting most of the day when I’m not working.

  117. DeathByBamboo Avatar

    8/10. I love my wife and kid, things are going alright with them. But my car is falling apart and I need to exercise more, so it’s not like 9.

    I’m an optimist with a positive outlook on life in general and a core belief that “nothing is forever so appreciate what you’ve got right now and don’t let anything going on right now keep you down.” And that pretty solidly keeps me above a 5 no matter what’s going on as long as my brain is making enough of the right chemicals (and if my brain isn’t making enough of the right chemicals, I have meds for that).

  118. nineteennhard Avatar

    I was at rock bottom for years but as of recently things have been getting better. I’d say I’m at a solid 6/10. Zoloft and Klonopin have been a life saver!!!! For anyone that’s severely depressed or anxious I know exactly how you feel, please just hang in there and seek help if you feel like you need it. There is no point in suffering, get some help.

    Right now? Probably somewhere in the mushy middle of 5 to 6 out of 10.

    I don’t think I really swing too harsh one way or the other. On average, probably in the 4 to 5 ballpark. The lows aren’t that low, although I wish the highs felt more like highs sometimes

  138. semperknight Avatar

    I think I have mild long-term depression (15yrs).

    So, the good news is it keeps me crazy focused and my highs don’t get high and lows don’t get low. It also appears I can’t have nightmares. Oh, the dreams try HARD, but I just don’t feel strong feelings so the nightmare ends up being really lame.

    The bad news, I’m not enjoying life. I’m just…living it. Seems to affect my perception of time, too. These past 15yrs have gone by crazy fast! Weeks feel like only a few days.
