Does content with bouts of happy count?
I think I wabble between D and E depending on what's going on. I'm generally one of those that believes stuff is going to happen so no use being unhappy about it. Learn to deal with it rather than curse it when it happens. However I do get terribly unhappy with certain people in my life who don't seem to be happy unless they are in the middle of making things more difficult than they have to be. Every once in a while I go through a little spell of unhappy for that reason. It tends not to last that long though.
Sure! Happiness, just like sadness, is a continuum. I seem to sklide back and forth. Being really, really happy usually involves beer and herbs.
Fairly often. Most of the time, really. Happiness is a choice, and a journey. I choose to be happy, and I work at it, therefore I am happy most of the time. I have depression/anxiety, and on my bad brain days I don't feel happy - but I AM still happy, I just can't access it. I know it's there, and I know depression lies, and I get through and then I'm happy again. It's not about your circumstances, it's about what you do w/ them.
E. The blues get me from time to time but I'm accused of being a relentless optimist often enough that I suspect I'm happier than most.
I don’t feel all that happy. But if you tell me to go to church to find happiness, I’m gonna get even more unhappy.
Damn right I am buddy, I'm going to HEAVEN. Unfortunately not until I die.
B - I am almost perpetually happy at this stage of my life, but I don't much analyze my moods or state of mind. I'm just in the moment, far as I know. Whether I'm laughing or crying, it's just an expression of emotion. Interestingly enough, if I'm extremely angry, I do try to stop and analyze it. The situation almost never warrants such a strong reaction from me.
E, but I like to avoid doing or saying anything that will detract from my nasty old man GET OFF MY LAWN image.
B. Very rarely. But I have severe depression, so...
