I'm really unhappy. I had a nervous breakdown over 9 months ago because of depression, I smoked a lot ton of weed(5-6 times a day) and more reasons I don't even know why. I'm unhappy because I'm bipolar, I'm confused about my life, I dwell on the past a little bit, I live in the future a lot, I have a learning disability, I lack confidence, I have low self esteem, I have social anxiety, and more.
Are any of you guys happy? |

I'm not happy with a lot of things, but I'm happy with my life over-all. I think the only reason I am is because I have someone who cares a lot for me and helps me through all my troubles. If it weren't for him, things would be very different.

I'm not at all... and I'm scared most of the time. The symptoms just don't ever go away which results in my feeling that this unhappiness will last forever. Sometimes, for short periods of time, it feels like I might, just might, be happy... but then it goes away. I thought I'd try working towards feeling content... that's definitely a work in progress. 💝.

I have a lot of **** going on right now and every reason to not be happy. But I have to say it's not that bad. I am certainly better than I was two years ago despite all my hardships this year. So am I happy all the time? No of course not. But overall I know my life could be so much worse and I am happy with what I have.

Not right now, no. Which is frustrating because I usually am a glass half full kind of person. Depression can go kick rocks...

No, I should be happy but I am not. I have a loving supportive husband of 25 yrs, 4 wonderful children, and no financial worries. But I am very sad, depressed, and anxious every day. I am working with my pdoc and therapist but see no hope in sight. I had ECT earlier this year and it didn't even work. I feel unhappy and hopeless.

I have had a great summer, but last winter I would not wish on anyone.
I am hopeful that I'm able to stay productive. I guess happiness comes and goes. My goal is just to be comfortable. It helps me not to focus on the negative issues I face.

Sometimes. Happiness is external, joy is internal. I want joy.

Right now I am, and it's so great. Most of my life I've been depressed, but things are really good right now.

I would so say Im not as happy as I could be. I try to remain positive everyday. im not a negative person. I find little things make me happy, such as a sunny morning, good coffee and breakfast. playing basketball. Music. but I miss the happiness of being in love. sometimes I feel lonely. but i know things will get better. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

I'm not happy because i am bored and lonely but i have plenty to be thankful for like my comfy income, my sweet dog and my cozy home. I try to remind myself of my blessings but sometimes it's not of much comfort.

I am pretty darn happy and content with life these days. It isn't perfect, but life never is; but, all in all I'm pretty pleased with how my life is going.

i feel like happiness and depression are two different shades u put on...
i broke out of a 5-7 year spell of depression not long ago... a few months back... in that time up to now, i went through a lot of problems, and was lucky enough to have a mind to lay those problems down... overall, id say im not exactly wearing any shades at the moment... if im depressed, im certainly not as much as i used to be, as my overall quality in life has drastically changed... but if anything, im definitely looking forward every day, and although i get a "cloudy" day here and there, things are looking brighter as i try to learn more about myself...

Happy, probably not. Content on the other hand, very. Bipolar is tricky, it can drag you down in the dumps or it can make you fly higher than the clouds. Happiness does come from within though, I know that much to be true.

I'm happy yes, I've come a hellava long way in the past 5 years, and I've learned that happiness doesn't just fall into my lap.
I had to learn how to identify it and then also how to create it. I've been creating like crazy for the past 2 years and its finally paying off.

I finally can say I am happy and joyful. I think this is for real and not a passing episode like mania.

I am happy and content now thanks to finally finding the right med combination! I was unhappy and unstable for most of my life until just two months ago. I can finally say I am stable.
