Are you happy?

[David Bowie]

This has definatly been the unhappiest year of my life. Before, I think that it was 50-50. However, I snapped about a month after college graduation (as in I came pretty close to being hospitalized.). Not sure why, casue everything was good-I'd just graduated and had a great boyfriend. Nine months later, I still don't feel normal at all, no boyfriend, no job.

Ballcox – this is a good point: “…but it also relates to a number of different areas in our lives. Are we achieving goals we set? Are we happy in our marriage/family relationships? Is our job rewarding/enjoyable? Is our lifestyle matching up with our own values, beliefs, morals, etc.?” Right now I feel like I’m not achieving anything, living alone with no woman in my life, have nothing rewarding going on except exercise and food. No wonder I’m not on top of the world!

JT – sorry to hear that mate. However, if it is debt that is driving most of your happiness, and you will be out from under it soon, I am pretty sure that will change the way you feel. Here’s to seeing you on the other side! PS I'm always happy to see your signature too! Elisha is a vision…

Spurschick – sorry to hear about that, sounds like the guy was stoned or something…

Lionsfan – I like your at ude to things.

1Parker1 – I think I've been taking too many “me days”, and actually what I need to do is sit down and nut my way through this thesis! Once it is done I'm pretty sure my head will clear up significantly. Definitely good advice for stressful times though.

Jekka – good advice.

Well, I'm off to do some work. The sooner I get this thesis done, the sooner I can move on with REAL life.

I don't know if I'm happy or not. I'm always indifferent.

You can be indifferent & happy at the same time! It's allowed

Not having a job, or something else that consumes your time and puts you out amongst people, can really you up. That is a big part of what's messing with me. Get up and out and find something to do.

As for the boyfriend, I'm single too and would really rather not be, but it's better to be single than in a relationship going nowhere... at least that's how I see it. Once again, if you aren't out there amongst people you are less likely to meet anyone special too.

Get yourself a job. The rest will fall into place.

i often don't think about it.

being happy is just a state of being. life cannot be judged as a "happy" life or a "sad" life, it just is.

there can be many happy moments in your life, and there can be many sad moments as well, but dwelling on whether or not your life is "happy" will just bog you down.

you should just live according to your preferences. and if things don't pan out, you could always try again.
