I guess to me, if I can say I enjoy something, during that activity, I could say I was 'ok" even though beneath the joy would still be unresolved problems to work out. The distraction could let me enjoy life beside the worry and pain somewhat. Maybe you need more of that?

Shlump, I know what you mean. I think thats a different interpretation of 'ok'. In those cases its possible the person is deluding themselves that they like something. They arent perceiving the whole picture of the consequences of unhealthy activity when they describe the entire experience as 'likeable'. Just my thought.
