I'm not depressed. I'm very happy.

Lifes good, I was healthy (just hit a bout of the flu so I'm a bit ill at the moment, will be better in a week or so 🙂), family, lots of friends, at Uni and a gf.

And for some of us.... shorter daylight= Moody behavior. I used to get DEEPressed when I lived in the Sac. Valley. The fog starts about mid Nov. and lasts until April... or so it seemed. I thought the acronym SAD was appropriate. SAD= Seasonal Affective Disorder.
It's about getting a certain wavelength of light for a minimum amount of time. Take the shades off,?? <sorry bad joke

 
Overall, I'm fairly happy right now. I just got a big raise in the middle of a bad economy because my boss and CIO appreciate all the extra time I put in at work to make sure "things just work".

I don't have much to be happy about.. but I am not unhappy.
that's just the way I am.

always fairly positive.
I don't think I will ever get depressed.
 
meh, i know that i could be considered depressed as of late, well as of always. but it is just the way i am. i used to be passionate about sh1t, but i dont really care about much anymore. I feel like more of an oserver of the world and i have no desire to really be part of it..... just to exist in whatever form that may be. i really dont know what is messed up or wrong with me.... but i really dont care anymore. i have achieved more or less absolute apathy towards the world and towards people in general. meh....
 
I'd be happier if I was making more money. Any problem in my life right now directly involves money, or lack there of.

But i'm working on it.

That's sad to hear from you, man. I've seen you around here for quite a while and you always seemed pretty cool - to have your life affected that adversely all over money seems pretty blah. You can be happy without money. I know I can. I have problems in that department as well, but when I'm with KahlanAmnell, I can ignore those things and be happy. 🙂
 
I'm actually pretty happy also, although the Giants loss has really put a screw on my mood for a while. (They have been my favorite team since I was born.) I didn't expect something as trivial as sports to spin my mood, but I'm just not out of that funk yet.

Yes I am. I need to lose some weight. But I also like to eat, and when I get hungry well it's hard to resist. Oh how I wish I'd lose some considerable weight. I also sit on my butt all day long so it's probably isn't helping me losing weight.

I'm happy in many ways: happy with my love life, happy with my family life, happy with my social life. Hell, I'm happy with my current job. Problem is I took over a 65% hit on my income last year compared to 2001. I have a new job lined up with a VSU company, but it's still waiting for one more investor before I can start full time. Once that happens, and my financial side is stabilized, I'll be happy all the way around the spectrum.
 
REASON:

1) Lack of money
2) Lack of sex
3) Lack of hair

Moral?...anything thats "lack" leads to depression.
 
Holidays are high stress times with those times afterward often leaning toward depression. Couple that with lack of daylight and the downturn of the economy and we have a recipe for people to be despondent.

I'll have to say that my holidays were filled a great deal of turmoil, however what do I have to be sad about?

Nothing, I'm totally thankful and happy for what I have.
 
I am just run down right now. Holidays, kids, work, having three of my favorite patients die this week alone, things have just been rough. I'm trying to keep my chin up, but its not easy. And it sucks, because I used to be such a happy person, but lately, I am always so sad. And I have a good job, three beautiful kids, a nice home, good friends, I am finally where I wanted to be. But I am more miserable than ever, if that makes any sense. 😛 Maybe I am just having a bought of loneliness, that will go away soon.

I remember that. If I may ask without intruding, what changed in your life to improve your situation?

No idea, well, I took some antidepressants, then I stopped taking them cause I didn't really like them, but after that everything was great, I am not too sure what changed, but I am pretty happy with my life now.
