Me either, sorry to say.

SOMEtimes, my mood can lift slightly with watching a funny show. In severe depression we might be talking a small lessening of soul-smothering despair. But happy doesn't happen, not even briefly. Which sucks!

In lesser depressions, it can have more of a positive effect, at least for a moment. Still not into happy territory though.

My depressions aren't always sad. Sometimes it's just straight up numbness where I don't feel ANYTHING. Unresponsive altogether.

There are times when things get really chaotic and I'm all over the place. I hate those spells, but I suppose the upside is that in such a time, such a thing would be more likely to help, even if it didn't last terribly long. The list would then include music and pets and love (not sure if happy would be the word though, might be more like incredulity that anyone can deal with me at all(!)).

I too like having 'me time'. Whether it be watching a movie, reading a book or just going out and doing something on my own.

The only thing I can find enjoyment in regardless of mood is sleeping.

Hearing the theme song to "I Dream of Jeannie". It almost always cheers me up.

I would like to add chocolate fudge to my list of things that make me happy no matter what state of mind I'm in.......it's 11:22 PM at night, and I wish it wasn't, so I can drive to the mall and pick some up at my favorite candy shop
