    I make me happy.
    Husband makes me happy.
    Lil'how makes me happy.
    Friend friend makes me happy.
    Rain makes me happy.
    Sunshine makes me happy.
    Kitty cuddles make me happy.

    And today, a bowl of tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich made me happy.

    I'm a happy 25 y/o man. There's plenty to be happy about. You depressed people need to stop being such whiny little babies. Your situation could be exponentially worse.

    Do what makes you happy and stop looking for other people / things to do that for you.

      You've clearly never been clinically depressed.

      It's not the same as 'feeling a bit down'.

      Yes, things could be worse, but it's not fair to undermine the situation of a depressed person.

      I'm glad for your sake you've never experience it.

        Even though I used the word "depressed", its clinical meaning is not what I was aiming for. I was responding to the tone of what the question was asking.

        Unhappiness it the opposite of happiness, but depression is not. I was directing my reply to folks who are unhappy, not clinically depressed.

        Honestly though, I feel that too many people are diagnosed as being depressed, when they're really just down on their luck and feeling sorry for themselves. (Not that all people are in this category)

          Thank you for clarifying.

          And I totally agree with the overdiagnosis part.

    My pet vampire escaped from his cage, bit two people, and then burst into flames from too much sunlight today. RIP my blood-sucking friend :"( I was then captured by a cult of demon slayers who threatened to burn me at the stake for hounding a vampire. I escaped in the nick of time but am now hiding in an unground layer to prevent from being captured and slayed...

    But other than that, I'm happy!!! :D:D:D

    I'm very happy. Nothing in particular has changed in my life, although maybe my outlook has become a bit more positive or something. I've got so much to be happy about and I think a lot of people do. I could be whiny and complain about stuff, but there's not really much fun in that:P.

    I'm also grateful that my opinions towards certain things are very different to everyone else I know. For example, I've never met anyone else who actually likes the village I live in. I'm not entirely sure why, though, I think it's fantastic. I'm just easy to please, and that in itself pleases me. I don't know, things feel right for now. All is dandy.:D

    I am...existing. I think. I no longer am crippled by my depression, but I'm not overly happy, nor even approaching content. But I'm not unhappy. There are things that make me happy. But this doesn't feel like living. Or at least, not the living I wanted.

    Things that make me happy:
    - comedy shows
    - good music
    - my job (though at the moment I don't feel too happy about it, more burnt out)
    - a certain someone
    - my gym class
    - my bed. God, I love my bed.

    Things that make me unhappy:
    - bleh
    - constant low level pain, interspersed with acute pain attacks, making me feel old
    - the hours I'm working. I need a break
    - that same someone
    - my pilates class
    - getting out of bed.

    I am a 23 year old woman. I am extremely unhappy because I have nothing going on for myself. I haven't accomplished anything since I graduated high school. I want to go to college but I can't go because I am constantly changing my mind on careers. Plus I am unemployed so I don't have money for tuition and books. What bothers me the most is the fact that I have wasted so many years. I lost my job this year because I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and was hospitalized twice. I been unemployed now for 1 year and I don't have a car. I am wasting my life spending 7 days a week just eating, talking, sleeping and going to bathroom. I am thankful for my familys support financially and emotionally. But I just wish that my life was exciting and that it had a purpose.

    It's rare that I'm happy. Most of the time I'm stressed out or angry or sad.

    I try to be :( If I had a bigger apartment with a spare room for all my sewing/crafty needs I might smile more. If I had the money and work space to fix my car i'd be pretty excited. If depressing things didn't keep happening i'd be happier. *sigh* at least I can amuse myself, otherwise i'd totally lose it. I wish I had a tree where I could build a tree house. That would be super happy times right there. With a swing!!!! And a slide!!
