How Happy Are You?

Best of luck to you!

I sorry to hear this, Ivan. I hope that the kind words and support from other PA members will help you through this.

Depends on where you draw the line between "content" and "not too happy", and between "not too happy" and "very unhappy". If Kurt Cobain was "very unhappy", and that deluded chain-smoking chick who used to supervise me at that no-good job is "content", then I am "not too happy". 

With the exception of some very hard days in my early 20s, my first four decades were filled with happiness.  Grew up in a close family neighborhood during a great era.  As an adult things continued good up til around age 40.  The past decade in stark contrast has been one horrid crisis after another, literally, and shows no signs of abating. Happiness is in the rear view mirror now.  I do my best to push back despair, and someday I hope to wiggle my way back to peace.  I no longer require happiness.  Peace and contentment would be more than enough. 

Happier than pop tarts in a toaster

I am sorry to hear that my friend....hope things get better.

Not terribly.

I'm content ......not sure how happy and very happy apply in general terms  to daily activities and how we live accordingly. It seems a bit simplistic to me to describe ourselves in that manner since human emotions are complex at times. I think we are all happy from time to time and in other states at times.

I'm with a huge depression, so very unhappy.

Happy :) But there is always room for improvement. Right now I think my life is in a good place, and I think things will only get better.
