Are you happy with your life?

if you monitored my actions for a period of time you would think i hated my life and was insane. but truth is i'm better off than a lot of other people. i just try to remember that when i'm feeling down.overall i feel like i'm stuck in limbo, merely on the verge of true happiness..
 
Yes, I feel thankful for every day of my life.

I get frustrated sometimes, especially with my struggle for physical health, and I've had some rough times due to my alcoholism and other things, but I consider life a blessing.

I have nothing but limitless potential ahead of me, always, and when things are at their worst, that's even more true. Often times there is nowhere else to go but up.
 
If I must answer simply yes or no... I say "no."

When I wake up each morning, my first thought is "Motherfuck.... more? Another day? Why?"

But I know that will change. Rationally, I don't have any particular thing to be depressed or even dissatisfied about.

But I'm depressed and dissatisfied anyway. :( C'est la vie. I would rather feel pain than feel nothing.

Ask me again next week. The answer may be very different.
 
No

- Life is essentially meaningless

This is an interesting concept. Mostly everyone will tell you that you're wrong and a psychiatrist will put you on meds for it, but I think it is the most accurate truth that people can't deal with.

We live and die. People who loved us will get over it, or they will move on and continue to live until they die. That is the only effect we have on this earth, but in the grand scheme of things life....our individual life...does not matter. Life doesn't matter at all. We are just a part of the machine that will be fine without us. It's depressing.
 
Sorry Lysis but I don't like to believe or fall into the rut that it's all so meaningless. I think it's our duties as beings of existence to constantly try to improve and build and gain more awareness towards the world so that we can build stronger. Sure we die, and sure the people who knew us during our life will remember us for the remainder of their lives and then they too will die. But I still believe we should put our heart and soul into something that can be around longer than we will. If you can create something that future generations can use and build off of then you won't be "remembered'' per say but you will have contributed to the building blocks of life to continue to improve life how it is here right now. So to say that it's all meaningless means we've put more meaning to it then we've already claimed it doesn't have by making up a word for it to explain. And I believe we can continue upwards from there.
 
I'm happy if I'm high, but I end up less happy in the long run..

I take drugs because I have nothing else to do.. I really love going out and being with friends, but I dont have any friends to do that with .. . well I have some, but they rarely want to do things. Alot have steady girlfriends that they would rather be with.

Also, how happy with your life can you be if nobody has ever loved you? DOesn't that mean that you are not a loveable person?

*eats painkillers and drinks whiskey*
 
^^Well i sure hope so DW....i mean i'm not gonna lie i am a very attractive person but i CANNOT find a girl that actuallly WANTS to be with me???

Probably because my RAGING drug addiction gets in the way....*sigh*

well yea it does open up more of a world of opportunity as far as the girls go wen ur clean
while plenty of chicks will find it sweet as that u abuse drugs (if they do too) those kind of relationships dont tend to last very long IME cos in the end the drugs always come first for both of u
the deep and meaningful ones tend to come later wen uve got ur drug use more under control or rnt using at all
hey if it makes u feel any better, i havnt had a bf since may - he lasted 3 weeks - a month, was an absolute wanker.....and i wudnt say im cindy crawford but plenty of guys consider me cute
sadly all i can get tend to b one-night stands or married/engaged men who decide they want to cheat on their wives/fiancees with me (yes i turn them down)
i still hold onto the belief that theres got to b someone out there for us all someday :\
 
Overall, I suppose, because I see potential for myself in the future, I also see many negative possibilities too though. This isn't exactly where I want to be, but I'm trying to get myself out. I can't say I'm actually happy with my life right now, it is just I can see a point maybe 5 years from now, say, where I will either be leading a pretty normal life and be quite content or I will not and I will be using too many drugs and all that and I can basically see myself in the gutter, but at the same time I feel I won't let myself get that far.

To answer the question, not really, I'm pretty freaked out actually, haha, but I hope for the best.

EDIT

I've never had a girlfriend, chin up to both of you, outside of drunken nights, where both I and female party were far too wasted to know exactly what was going on I've barely gotten so much of a kiss outta a girl. I don't usually let that fact get me down though because I am not quite even 19 yet, so I do have time for that stuff I suppose. Still though, when the topic of sex and girlfriends comes up I'm the obvious odd man out, haha. I too do not feel I'm particularly unattractive, quite the contrary sometimes, I'm lean, I got some nicely defined muscles from when I was younger, nice hair, alright features, I'm just shy especially with the women. And I don't get this whole mean, make fun of girls thing that all the guys do...It seems disrespectful to me but somehow tends to get the girls, I can't do that shit to a girl, I guess nice guys do finish last, eh? lawl.

ur obviously a decent guy then - i dont like guys who r disrespectful to women, personally
ill flirt with them, sadly, but deep down ill b thinking 'nah ur not my type'
 
im content..yet unsatisfied. almost indescribable

i just despise the social situations that makes me unfunctionable..even worse when blazed, socializing goes to zero. sometimes i just cant find anything to say..because i like to enjoy the surrounding kind of thing, its messing up my love life so much..i feel pissed being so quiet..idk..just some confusing social anxiety i suppose?
 
Yes. I have things in my life that I have worked for and am proud of, and I have people in my life that should have given up on me long ago - I am very grateful for them. It's not a picnic every day, but no ones life is.
 
I don't know. There's not enough happening in my life, it just seems boring. There's a ton of shit I want to be out doing, but I'm not... And I don't know why. I want to be living, having fun, etc.

I'm not in school right now, I can't find a job, I'm completely broke, I'm still living at home, and I have seasonal depression with no meds to fix it. So it's just me and my head, stuck here going over how much I'm missing out on. Maybe I'm not even missing anything, but it sure as hell feels like it, and I can't shake that feeling for the life of me.

I want to change my life completely, because no, I'm not happy with it at the moment.
 
No. I wake up, and think, "damn.. another day." Being asleep and dreaming is the best part of my life, and that's pretty sad, IMO.

this is probly hard to consider wen ur currently depressed (i take it its winter where u r now) but ever considered actually going out and 'living and having fun'?
granted, a lot of living and having fun requires money but sometimes if im feeling down ill take a drive into the country or even into the semi-rural suburbs of my city and find a nice forest or bush track or a pathway down to the sea
ill take a picnic and just go for a nice walk, check out my surroundings - once ur fit enough, u can do this all day (im not fit enough ;))
make ur own fun!
although again i say its probly hard to motivate urself to do so if u hav seasonal depression - is there any way u can b medicated for this?
