I went with fairly happy. I just got out of the army a couple months ago and started school, which is going really well. Got a new lady in my life. All seems pretty well, though im the kind of guy who keep waiting for everything to fall apart thats why i said fairly. better to be perpared than blind sided.

Yes, but you're a teenaged taswegian. Let's face it, that'd depress someone hopped up on Zoloft.
Cheer up. Teenagehood ends. Wait until you are over 18 and having to deal with adult life.

im very happy,lifes to short to play in dark tunels all the time.happy and happy are a state of mind,and yes ive lost friends andhave sick family members...but to be depressed is to be repressed,and im not about to let this world hold me back Automatically Appended Next Post: hmmm......i was a teen a while back,all i remeber is the girls and the games i played with friend D&D and others...youth os silly to be sad,learn to mold the world,into a place you whant to be,deprission can be destroyed in a singel thought
oh and you think its hard now wait until you have a family of your own,everyday is a chance you could fall and lose everything,or a day you made everything for those you love,andif you do fall get backup and grab life by the throat and say
"these are my momenrts and i craft them as i move foward,knock me down and ill keep getting up for life is a struggel and a fight won with hardship,and the awards that i can build are endless,so i take you bythe throat life and you will not keep from drawing my breath for my breath is yours and i controle all the moments in it"
so stop being depressedand all EMO,that is a bore if youve already given up,live life before you lose thechance

I voted for Super happy because wellllllll for me life is great!
it takes a lot to annoy me let alone make me angry. and almost nothing makes me sad.
the last time I was angry was about 4 1/2 years ago or so and the last time I was sad lol was like ehhhhh 7 years ago?
lol and no I am not blowing smoke out of my ass
I give all credit to God as when anything that puzzles me I simply ask myself a question "in the end what do you have left?" and my answer is what follows "ONLY GOD! NO CAR! NO FANCY HOUSE! NOTHING JUST GOD!" I can get a little extreme in my answer to that question haha but if anything I shrug off so many things and mark them as "in the end it doesn't matter lol"
but not in a blind why I don't walk around saying I DON'T CARE! but I simply don't get mad/sad etc about things that effect people in dif ways.
my friend got shot in the face by a stupid gang member (he lives thank God! and is making a massive recovery and looks almost the exact same and can talk and everything!)
he was my biggest warhammer 40k buddy and long time friend so its good to still have him! I never cried once nor did I get sad or angry I simply accepted it.
I was close to my grandma and grandpa I always loved going to see them they both passed away and once again I was never sad and never cried I simply accept it as it is!
anyway enough of my chatter! seeya guys its good to be a part of a warhammer 40k forum!

You are not free whose liberty is won by the rigour of other, more righteous souls. Your are merely protected. Your freedom is parasitic, you suck the honourable man dry and offer nothing in return. You who have enjoyed freedom, who have done nothing to earn it, your time has come. This time you will stand alone and fight for yourselves. Now you will pay for your freedom in the currency of honest toil and human blood. |

I’m obscenely happy with my life. Great sex life, I get to go ”pew pew” with my little plastic space army men / monsters, and the world is my oyster. Who couldn’t be knocked out by a culture of people who play with toys as adults? If we don’t know how to have fun with it, then I don’t think anyone could.

I consider myself fairly happy. About a year ago, I fluctuated wildly from unhappy to depressed, due to a horrendous case of acne. Due to medication it is 90% gone now, I've made some new friends, and have a very fat wallet for a 14-year-old due to selling painted minis on Ebay.

I picked fairly happy, would have put Very happy except just after christmas my boss completely changed the job I loved. Took away my field service gig, took my company car (thats a BIG pay cut) and shoved me in the main shop becauses I'm competant and they "Need my positive attitude and skills". It's hard to be postitive after you just got the hard one, you know? Ah well, still got a job, wife, kids and new skaven to paint, so fairly happy it is. Now if only a new Bret book gets released with 8th ed...

Later part of 2009 and the start of 2010 were very enjoyable for me.I am usually miserable when I have to go to school at second shift-at afternoon and especially when it's sunny day.Currently I'm fairly happy because I'm one of the best students in my class.

Meh,Good days & bad days,that's life.
As a teenager I was never "the depressed kid",I was more of the "angry,punch you in the face kid",now,as an adult,much of that anger has evolved into merely being annoyed alot...wich suits me fine as I can,in general,annoy those that annoy me to the point that they go away.
Most of the time I'm having a great time.

Generally I'm a very happy person. I used to be pretty miserable on a regular basis, but thanks to meds and a new job that has been repaired.
I think I'm usually happiness when I have the least going on in my life or it's Spring. Something about that warmer weather and new growth.

It really all depends on the day and the circumstances. I'm usually fairly happy with my life. I got a job, I'm doing great at school, my car hasn't broken down just yet, plenty of CSM in my room that needs painted, great friends, and I might be getting my first date this sunday.
But I tend to suffer from depression a lot. And I have a pretty short temper. Combine that with a bad day and I'm ready to just kill something.
Depression/anger put aside, my life is fairly happy

Threadnomancy above me there, but I'll take chance to point out that there are more clinically depressed people than unhappy. Do unhappy people not play Warhammer, whereas clinically depressed people are drawn to it, or do unhappy people just like to exaggerate?

Hmm. I'm pretty apathetic at the moment. I had to leave a pretty good job due to a temporary back injury - and while I was at it I ended a very happy and rather long term relationship - then I moved 800km away (don't ask  ). Now I have a 'worse' job that is much more fun - I go to live gigs, drink, socialise, and write about it. I don't know anyone 'round here much, but I now live smack-bang in the middle of the biggest city in the country. I've basically shed some skin and am still a bit pink and tender from it all, but I'm developing a much nicer, bigger, crustier shell as a result. The past year has been pretty unstable for me but it's all good. I'm typically a very happy person. I'm prone to fits of depression but I counter that by never, ever sleeping.
