I was walking down the street today, and I realised I'm happy at the moment, not depressed.
And this is the first time in years I've felt like that. It's the first time since being sick I've been able to think about the future and be happy and optimistic and not care about sickness. I really am happy and confident again I think.
I still feel shit all the time and am still sick but I don't let it bother me. I had a searing headache all day today and I was still happy.
Sorry for this pointless thread but well, I wanted to tell ILX, since I clogged the place up with so many ill health threads and crises. I hope you all are doing well too. (Amazingly I'm not drunk/on drugs as I write this)

Cool.
Don't think I've been proper happy since about 2005 but I haven't drank or done drugs since new year and just had a good steak, feeling pretty decent.

awwww. stay happy ronan (and pup)!
― Surmounter, Sunday, 13 January 2008 09:39 (eighteen years ago)
I haven't been happy since about 1999 or 2000 or so.
When I went to London in 2000, I was happy. 2006 my mother won a lawsuit and I was unemployed - she paid my bills and I was happy.
I hope you stay happy. Sometimes you don't know if you'll ever be happy again.
― cecelia, Sunday, 13 January 2008 12:10 (eighteen years ago)
Wonderful, Ronan!
― Maria, Sunday, 13 January 2008 14:57 (eighteen years ago)
Happy is pretty damn good, I'd say.

Can't ask for much more.

This is like some old rolling stone song right? I think I've heard of it.
― Oilyrags, Sunday, 13 January 2008 15:31 (eighteen years ago)
I'm happy as long as I don't think about the past.
― snoball, Sunday, 13 January 2008 15:58 (eighteen years ago)
nice one, ronan.
i'm content, which is what i strive to be. (but never complacent.) i'm also tired and have an exam next week, and mrs fiendish is away in england, but i'm going to have a cup of green tea and crack on with some revision, which i really quite enjoy. so i guess this is me:

High on life, then. Or maybe endorphines. Anyway, I wish you a continuing plenitude of happiness. Damn great stuff, as Ned said.

Glad to hear it Ronan, I know you've had a pretty rough time with yr health.
I've had a shocking 12 months - healthwise, mind wise, romance wise - but now I'm happier than I think maybe I have ever been, and it isn't insane manic happy, it is content, peaceful, nice, "can see this lasting" happy. And thats despite being unemployed and quite broke. Its such a relief, and makes me realise how seriously bad/depressed I was last year.

i just looked back through my email and worked out thats the day we finally sold our old house (after 8 months of financial terror) and found out that PP was still cancer-free. That was a pretty bitchin day.

― doing my Objectives, handling some intense stuff (LocalGarda), Monday, 2 November 2015 09:28 (ten years ago)
Happiness is such an odd thing to get a handle on.
Now that it's autumn, I'm starting to feel nostalgic for the summer just gone as if that's when I was happy. But if I think back clearly, my summer was just like now - odd moments of happiness, boredom, anxiety, irritation, and flatness of mood.
I'm not sure I'm ever happy in the present, but only in retrospect.
