Are you happy?

^^^ congratulation!

I'm happy with my life, I don't have much but happy. Last 2 years has been a roller coaster ride for me, my parents passed away 11 months from each other.
 
How's everyone's happiness levels 2 years later? :)

Right now I'm in a much better place. Uni is going great and I'm moving in with my girlfriend of 1.5 years.
 
Hmmm...

I'm an underpaid web designer that commutes 24 miles each way for the prividge.

I own my own home that I have not lived in for 7 years that I still pay for.

I have been caring for 58 year old father with cancer since February.

It was his funeral last friday.



I'm 31 a week on Tuesday. Thought I'd be settled with a family by now. I don't expect a lot, but that's what I really want and always wanted. Just aint happening.

I'm using my free time to try and work and hopoefully gain a second income to resole my house issue (8k neg equity, shared mortgage with ex, currently empty and on market with no interest). Intend to take it on solo and bring it up to a rentable standard (company won't let me rent in on current morgage. Gonna take years of work as cutting my losses is more expensive.

In that time I can't see me being eligible to anyone for romance and that happily ever after.


That said, I'm not unhappy. I'm living with my mum during a difficult time for her losing my father, we have 3 dogs and a horse as distractions and I'm looking forward to beating this on my own and all the achievements I will succeed with. No point being unhappy. I have a lot to improve and and I'm not happy with that, but I won't let it make me less of a person :)

Are you happy/content with your life at the present moment?

I'd say I'm not that happy. Even though things are going the way I want them to right now I still feel - not unhappy - but not really happy either.

I think it's mostly anxiety for what the future holds or doesn't hold..

Getting the work/leisure ratio is the key, that and being free from worry/hassle.

Anxiety is a real downer and work related is the worst. Recently I've been pressurised into too much overtime and then a letter from the mortgage company saying how do you plan to repay this that and the other... argh.
 
Pretty unhappy with the hand I've been dealt, over the last while.
Have been in 2 minds to go back on to medication, but would prefer not to.

In my head, I was all ready to leave the UK, but plans all changed. Now not a clue what to do with life.
Not much you can do though. Sleep, wake-up, go to work, have beers. Repeat.
 
Yeah I'm quite happy right now.

If I could help at all it would be to pass on a life motto I once got told years ago.

Control the controlables! The rest just has to play out.
 
Not at all happy. Occasionally have a brief flutter of happiness which is quickly quashed by the troubles of life...

Sounds like a situation where throwing the keys back at the bank and walking could be viable. Change of country + scenery would do you some good.



As for myself, not really no. I'm in a decent job, but I know that I can do better myself. Trying to get out of the rat race of life.
 
All good this end, I'm generally happy if I'm healthy. I see so much in my job as a Nurse that I appreciate the simple things, like being able to pass urine haha or get up in the morning and go to the gym.
