0Corpse_Eater0 wrote: I voted "other". I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in my mid-teens, but I've been miserable for most of my life. It's been so long, I'm not sure I even remember why. I've been on and off various types of medication for the last five years, some of which had terrible side effects, and even (in one case) horrible withdrawal symptoms.
After battling with the pills, I wound up battling even harder with my unmedicated self, and found that I was even more abject without pills, in spite of the side effects and possibility of developing neurological damage (tardive dyskinesia). I'm back on meds now (again) and these one's are working well enough, but all the pills in the world can't make you happy, they can only make you numb to the sickness that's eating you.
Most of the time, I hate myself. I feel like I haven't got control of my mind, and I fantasize about killing myself often. I hate myself more because I'm too afraid to do it. I often wonder if anything happens when we die. I guess it's possible that by the time I'm done, I'll be too tired to care. That's how I feel.

Dude, you're going to have to change yourself. Your life won't change if you don't.
Back in high school, I was depressed and sad all the time too. I hated school and it made me miserable.

Then I met good teachers, and through them, good friends. They showed me a different life style and it brought me out of miserable adolescence to motivated young adult.

I am in my second year of college, with the woman I love, and a happy life...well, half happy. I still hate my dad and am constantly annoyed at my mom. But the thing is, I'm passing my classes, have a job, and in my free time, I get to blast the faces of those arrogant self-absorbed space elves with a bolter. Whats to complain about

Oh by the way, has it ever occured to you that if you're afraid to die, that theres still something to live for? Perhaps something you still didn't do yet? If there isn't, there wouldn't be a reason to be afraid of death

Hey, life is sweet, overall.

Life is good, not much more to say really

Well, my girlfriend left me after 6+ years of dating just over a month ago...So, I'm still kinda in a rough patch.

Luckily, my friends/family have been helping me a lot and I'm going pretty good...I still have my rough days though.

I'm peaceful.

I consider myself fairly happy. I have pretty much a dream job currently working for a contracting company called ASRC Management Group on a contract for the FAA as a Computer Scientist. I have several hobbies that I enjoy, plenty of money for myself and currently saving for 20 - 30% down on a house between the $150,000 to $100,000 range, and other small things happening that keeps me occupied.

I am currently missing a significant other and while that does bring down the happiness, I am sure others would say that is a godsent, I believe after several more years that I will end up finding someone. Sometimes I feel like one of the lucky ones.

Clinically depressed. Not going into reasons why.

I used to be apathetic, but now-a-days, I just can't be bothered . . .



The old jokes are the best

Well, I have depression about so many years but I don`t fell misserable, I think that deppend how you take your illnes.
I love my wife, I love my dog, I love my time with my family, I like my time with my minis, maybe the only black spot is my job... Don`t have one for the moment.
Betwen 1 to 7 (in Chile the notes go from one to seven, no from one to ten like others countries), a 5 is a descent note for me.

Im alright its just what happens during a day is what make my mood

Also if im paying a noob at GW that boasts when he beats me, I wants to leave the store.

Overall I feel pretty good. Some things throw me off track every now and then, but generally I seem to be pretty chuffed with my lot in life.

I do ''stuff'', makes my life interesting. I used to be in big trouble with drugs, got into a loop of depression and getting high to escape it, lasted probably 4 or 5 months. I quit touching anything for about a month, but started smoking again, now I only have a midnight bowl, to help with sleep, and maybe have a few when Im out.

TBH I've never really been happier. I have a steady well paid job where I only work twice a week and get paid 275 euro for it. I'm going back to college in September. Alot of mates are going to the same course, its right next door to a tesco (In fact I think its the same building, my college is awesome.)

Physically and mentally, I feel better than ever.

I'm doin better than very happy, I'm awesome, almost rainbow-like ya know it could be all the Tau and Nids I've been killing recently but anyways thanks for asking

Well If anything if you need cheering up. Nevermind. Just ask me for a funny video I will provide
Anyway. My level of happyness has fluclated quite recently as I asked a girl out but i failed though now she feels apologetic and told me we still can hang out as two good friends >.> bloody friend zones.

I experience very few "happy" opponents. Generally rage/hate. Like if they lose, they go hungry. It's really strange. I've been trying to find a gaming group(not associated with a store) that just likes to game. No luck...

i am very fluctuating

voted fairly happy if not conflicted and confused

I'm generally okay. I haven't been depressed in quite a while. I've been in crappy health most of this year (2 nasty infections, 2 full on panic attacks, and just being generally ill in the allergies department) but I did get married this spring and honeymooned in Hawaii which was awesome. I've won plenty of games this year. I'm due for a promotion at work in the next week or two. I'm getting in shape. My wife is awesome and cooks like a beast (among other things).
And yesterday my wife asked me a ton of questions about 40k out of nowhere. I ended up explaining all about force organization and dedicated transports and why elites are awesome and how saves work and so on and so forth. This all ended with her deciding to buy a Dark Eldar battleforce because she wants to paint something. This is awesome. I look forward to sharing the hobby with her because it really does take up most of my free time. If all she wants to do is paint that's cool. I'll be more than happy to run DE my wife painted.
And wreck face.
So I voted fairly happy.

I posted fairly happy. Cant change many things.

I my lost good paying job due to budget cuts. Having to work jobs that pay so low that I get worried if i can feed myself or pay for gas. Also Ive been in 6 different jobs this year.

Not to add in the student loans looking me down. Car broke down tranny issue. My motorcycle has pitted forks right now and waiting on oil pan i ordered off internet that was listed to get here 2 weeks ago.

Discharged from college in my 6 term due to failing my math course for the second time. Discharged with a 3.66! (transfering colleges when I can.)

Moms a diagnosed schizophrenic. Sister did the 18 year old "i do what I want" thing got knocked up by thug-life boy friend.He now lives with us and steals my stuff cause he in fact doesn't have a job also .(me and my sister live together but I dont know for how long) I just happen to have a few nice things before I lost my job. Brother doing Corporate Grind. See him like once every three years.(but he happy which is good ) Father has congested heart failure and a enlarged heart.

Girlfriend of 3 years leaves me because it is so crazy in my life.

So recap: No Car. No Job. No School. No motorcycle. Family problems(who doesnt in some way now-a-days just some worse then others.) Girlfriend left me.

But besides all that nonsense I am okay. I have a few things to keep myself happy. Just having one of those years I quess. Just hoping I get Picked up for a police department soon after school. So looking forward to that. I enjoy DakkaDakka also I might not post alot. But man I do Lurk alot. Pfff If it wasnt for Dakka I would have saved more money instead of doing more conversions and such.....

But I live in america. It not to bad would like to move out of country. But I have alot of things available most dont in other parts of this crazy blue planet.

So be happy. Sorry for sad rattle. But I feels good to get off my chest.

Thanks DakkaDakka For reading...Really thanks.

-MORA

i spent ten years in war zones and i rather enjoyed it..

As a result im always in a great mood now i have seen how many of the worlds people live!

Yorkshire is bloody lovely, I work a 27 hour week, my misses is mint and far younger than me, im financially sound, physically fit, sleep great and i can get leathered 3 days a week.

And im essence of man!

Basically you should all want to be me. :-D

New girlfriend, so I voted Very Happy, but that'll change eventually I'm sure.

I mean nobody stays the same level of happy for the most part, so this poll can only capture the now. You can probably post this same poll 6 months later and get very different results. It's just the natural course of things.

typically I am fairly happy especially when I get a start a new army, because then i get to study a new army book put new models together yey.............unless when i get the new army and start reading the army book and look on GW because i decided that there might be something else i need for the army go to pull it up and GW has pulled it along with almost everything else so they can redo the army in a month or two, then fairly happy turns to fairly angry. This happened with the last two armies I have tried to start as soon as i get the army books and models the pull everything I am convinced GW is watching me and doing it all on purpose, I am thinking of doing an experiment I need somebody else to tell me what army to start 40k or fantasy it doesnt matter it has happened with both (Necrons, and Vampire Counts), and well see if as soon as I have money and buy everything if GW pulls everything.

Im REALLY happy now. School is annoying but I can take care of it.

Bipolar

Overall, I'm very happy, fortunately. Being in love'll do that for ya

Super happy but a bit paranoid

Im a pretty happy man most of the time I'd say.

Extremely happy when I can get on with my hobby, but real life sucks, throw in a dose of teenage angst and you've got me! (most of the unhappiness is just angst)

Other

I have Bi-Polar disorder so it depends on how leveled out I am at the time. Rite now I'm a little on the manic side so I'm energetic and super happy.
