Do you feel like you are generally leading a happy life?

hmmm

happy but tense

idk probably not

Somewhat happy, but some days it's really hard. Most of the time I don't really feel anything.

I am happy

Can't say I feel content with everything but I treasure the life I have now.

Happiness comes from the inside, it is something you need to find in yourself. I find that younger generations aren't as happy as older generation. The biggest influence for me is social media, K-pop is also a leading cause is young teens (mostly females) depression. I want everyone to be happy and live a nice life but with covid it is extremely hard.

Not really. I suffer depression and anxiety. My life is absolute shite right now. I recently lost my father and haven’t been able to say goodbye as yet. Both my parents are gone now. My sister and I are the only family members left and we don’t get on plus she lives interstate.

I’m also having extreme difficulty in finding another house as the rental market is tight at the moment. I have virtually no support. My partner and daughter are the only mainstays. Of course COVID doesn’t help either. I’m terrified of the future.

Thats not really true though. When you lead an unstable life its very hard to find happiness just from your inside. Your life has to have a certain structure for you to really be able to sas that at this point you really are solely responsible to find happiness and peace. When you live in a war zone fearing for your life, when you live in an abusive household, when you live in poverty or tons of other examples like that, honestly its not completely true that you alone are responsible for your happiness.

Of course, I agree that your surroundings affect your mental health, I was looking at it from a social view and not a personal view.

yes but its normal to feel like your not from time to time.

I am not happy but I cannot say I am unhappy. I am just going where the wind blows. I wanna see my friends and go out. Maybe then I can say I am happy a little bit.

Tense about something specific or just life as a whole?

tense about the future but happy with the present

i mean, the future ive chosen for myself is exciting but risky so the tension is always going to be there until i reach it but for now the journey is quite fun despite being hard

my physical and mental health problems make my life hard sometimes. my hands and legs almost always hurt because of my disability. im worried about my future prospects of living on my own because of my mental health. but on a day to day basis im very happy with my life
