I don’t think I will ever be truly happy.
Too much baggage from childhood and guilt from when I have been a twat in the past.
Just can’t seem to let it truly go and make peace with myself.
I do the best I can. I live a decent life and consider myself as a kind person. |

I wasn't early last year. Attending AA and my life has improved ten fold. Feel happiest I've ever been. If anyone is struggling then talk to someone. There's help out there xxxx |

No.
Can't go into why, too depressing.. Like a mood hoover actually... But
My family brother, mother.. being healthy and having enough to get by would make me so much happier.
Cant change it right now, so having to accept it.. For now.  |

I’m not too bad but when can we be truly happy.
When is enough is enough?
I always think there always can be someone even worse off than me. So just be thankful for your health and a little bit of happiness |

Yes we are. Life is being very kind to us so we are appreciating it and enjoying it and feeling very happy.
Hoping nothing happens any time soon to change our happiness. We have had more than our fair share of unhappiness over the years, so long may the happiness last for us. |

I separated from my wife last year. Whilst it remains very hard (even though I initiated the separation), I needed to be on my own. I am very happy with discovering myself. We have only two choices in life....leave things as they are or change yourself. Life is good, thanks for asking
Are you happy Op? |

And yep - mostly happy |

You need to learn to be happy with what you have, forget what others have, that's irrelevant. Find inner happiness....that's the secret. |

 If I break my leg and you stub your toe, it doesn’t mean your toe doesn’t hurt just because I’ve broken my leg.
Someone else being unhappy doesn’t mean you’re wrong if you’re unhappy too.
In an idea work everyone would be happy |

Yes, I am. It took me a lot of time and strength to get to where I am and I'm more than. I'm lucky and comfortable in many ways.
Are there things I'd like to change? Of course. My weight needs serious shifting, I'd love to be more sexually active/explorative and less in my head/overthinking and worried they'd say no and I'd really really like to be finally accredited. But I'm a work in progress as we all are to some extent and I'm trying my hardest to be the best person I can be. I have faith this year I can do those things.
I hope that your PND does one soon QL, it's a real bugger x |

Acceptance of things you cannot change is healthier than denial, stressing about or fighting it. |

No. Because of lifes unequal balance of Ill fortune. I'm not happy with life, me, or relationships.
What can change it? A turn around in luck, stability, and like minded people. Also change myself to achieve a more positive life. |

Childhood, good or bad, builds our foundation for life. It takes a lot of work to rebuild our foundations when we've suffered as children, but be strong as it is possible. |

Because unfortunately the people that have it better and have most things are not really that happy. |

To quote Tim Minchin again:
Don’t Seek Happiness - Happiness is like an orgasm: if you think about it too much, it goes away. Keep busy and aim to make someone else happy, and you might find you get some as a side effect. We didn’t evolve to be constantly content. Contented humans got eaten before passing on their genes
Even though he's a comedian I think there's a hell of a lot of truth in what he says.
To those saying that they are not happy maybe that is the issue. Maybe a change in mindset would help you. Maybe the realisation that happiness is not a contstant state and an emotion would help. Maybe realise that you are god of you own world and no one can take that away from you. Or maybe I know nothing... |

Wrong way of looking at things. Also, you don't know if those people are truly happy or if there are dark times around the corner for them. |

Yes indeed and I totally agree.
But in general I’m happy and try to do my best but of course we as humans always have that envious/in all of us but it’s okay.
And I’m happy if you’re happy |

One of the drawbacks of social media is it encourages us to compare our lives to others'. It seldom brings anything but dissatisfaction. Plus as is stated here it's often nothing more than an illusion. |

Ive been happier and ive been massively not ok. At present im mostly bored. My "meaning" got lost as friends and work colleagues moved on with their lives and i got stuck in a rut. Without the people who were central to my passion its hard to feel motivated. Also lacking a SO takes its toll in your 30s when you want more than the weekend piss up. Wanting someone to share a passion with and make life vital... |

I'm generally a happy bunny. I learned that I have the power to change a lot of things and so I do when needed.
Some things I cannot change and it's these things that I try not to let affect my happiness. A laissez-faire approach ensures that I don't sweat the small stuff.

"No.
I'm lonely, my job is the same tedious mess it's been for ten years, I can't seem to shake this bout of depression."
Would having a better job make you happy? I love my job but it's not what I rely on my happiness for.
You have the ability to change everything in your life if you wish it so. Look at social groups or activities that you would enjoy and I'm sure you'll meet others who share that interest. Find a new job, one where you feel more fulfilled or retrain in something you want to do.
I feel your pain having been there myself so I'm not preaching here. Also, simple one but are you exercising? Helps loads for depression if you're active |

Yes. It’s an emotion that can easily change though, and when it does, we try hard to remind ourselves of how fortunate we are. Maslach’s hierarchy of needs (we’ve got food, warmth and shelter) always forces us to smile and make us feel a bit better. For most situations we’ve encountered thus far anyway. |

Happiest now than I had been for many years
I removed all ‘friends’ from my life in 2017 that were negative or draining me emotionally in some way and focused on strengthening the remaining friendships that were left. It has had an amazingly positive effect on all aspects of my life |

There and to the left a bit |
A very wise person recently said to me:
"I think it's really hard to know what happiness is until you're in it"
And it's very true - right now I have *moments* of happiness, where all is right with the world for a brief period of time but as for being completely happy I'm not sure that I am, or that I will be until I am in it. |

"A very wise person recently said to me:
"I think it's really hard to know what happiness is until you're in it"

And as usual very wise words from GM |

"I don’t think I will ever be truly happy.
Too much baggage from childhood and guilt from when I have been a twat in the past.
Just can’t seem to let it truly go and make peace with myself.
I do the best I can. I live a decent life and consider myself as a kind person. "
Speak to your inner child xx |

ok. am i happy.
i would say 65-35 in the happiness department.
why only 65%.
ive seen a few good people pass away and the ones who should of didnt lol.
life is hard. doesnt matter what or who comes into it. its damn hard.
the 35% is me not being satisfied at where i am in my life right now.
i got things going on, some good some bad. a lot of it is waiting for something to happen which will change everything in my life forever.
so ask me again next year. |

Not quite there yet, but made some big positive changes last year and plan to continue in the same vein
Some aspects, like mental health, are harder to deal with and can rear their head again apparently from nowhere just when you think you've got a handle on it.
Sending love to anyone who's not currently feeling ok. It'll get better x |

After reading this thread IV actually realised I don't actually want to be me anymore
I think I could disappear and I don't think many would notice or miss me
Oh well never mind things can't get much worse |

im very happy with my life some situations might not be ideal but I make the best out of them as I can.
I don't let things from the past affect how my life should be shaped or what im going to do in the future. |

Yes and no. Sort of more yes than no.
Deeply, I'd honestly say yes.
That's tempered by a sense of dread for the world around me that is out of my control.
But what I have makes me happy. And being able to see what I want - however hard that path might be to discern at times - makes me happy in just having direction (any direction) and a sense of purpose.
Now, that wasn't always the case and if you asked me this about the middle of this year or late last year, I may have said otherwise.
But for now I'll acknowledge that the flame in my heart looks healthy and a course is set, so to speak. |
