When was the last time you were genuinely happy? And not some phony temporary happiness from drugs or alcohol.

For me it was late October 2021. Prior to that May 2020. Prior to that the summer of 2019, specifically late April to mid June. Prior to that November 9th 2016. Prior that July 2015-July 2016 (probably the best year of my life though it had its ups and downs). Prior to that June 2011-August 2013. Prior to that I guess the summers were always nice and I was happy but the school years mostly sucked and I wasn’t happy. And then I guess I was mostly fully happy prior to the 1st grade which would be everything before September 2004.

I dunno anon, when it happens it is very temporary and I have never felt that it would last. 2020 was the worst year of my life. I came within an inch of suicide.

The last time I went outside. I genuinely love being alone with myself in nature. It's being inside all day that drags me down.

I was feeling very happy tonight. At peace with my life. Just stop thinking like a sad cunt. It's seriously that easy. Forgive and move on. Stop being an internally seething cry baby. Take steps to change your life. You know what you need to do to make things better

When I got a big scholarship and bought my first car with it (had to commute to uni). On the way home, I drove my family. They all told me they were proud of me. It is a convertible, so I remember the wind in my hair, the sun, and oldies I was playing.

im gonna be honest anon but im a very normal guy and i was basically forced to it because my family didnt wanted me to associate with them so they just left me but because i was highly self aware and played my cards carefully thus i was rewarded freedom
>What were you there for
stabbed the house cat with a spoon for reason i do not remember, then in fear stabbed my mom too, a neighbor trying to catch me and his dog too (i dont why it happened but i was just a child) then a doctor interviewed me and i was sent to the downie dungeons
>what was it like?
too many downie bros, girls who literally went mute due to being molested so much at such at young age and the family didnt wanted the hassle, we were a little too much fond of pokemons and one girl ate the wheel from one of the stretchers

Back when I sat next to this one classmate of mine. I didn't put any effort into any of my classes that year, and I especially disliked the subject of the class we had together, but it was always nice speaking with her.

A few minutes ago, when I was looking at my wife and cat, but it was a happiness mixed with sadness because I can't help thinking that out there countless animals and humans are pointlessly suffering.

I don't believe in happiness because it can't be maintained unless you're a sage or something.

[Anonymous No.20155073]

I'm currently in the midst of a depressive episode and have been having obsessive, intrusive thoughts that feel somehow like they emanate from outside me. In such a state, I always feel like I have never been happy and never will, even if I know that's not true. It was probably about a month ago that I last was happy. Whenever I feel like I'm getting used to the reality of being a bipolar schizoautist I find a wave of FUCK will come along at an entirely inopportune time and MOLEST my plans.

I'd say I'm happy at least once most days. I've realized the most simple pleasure is the affirmation that I'm alive and still able to draw breath.

Trumps election is an indication of change in coming decades as populism rises, but if you actually thought Trump himself was going to stand up to "god's chosen people" and the wealthy elite then you were very naive.

[Anonymous No.20155761]

Around 5 years ago, some weeks around my 18th birthday me and my class were at a Trampolin hall/park. I was exhilarated, jumping and joking around with my friends and the girl I had a crush on. She had a BF at the time. We met some years after that by chance and talked, she laughed a lot.

This past week, I moved back to my hometown. It was the first time I've felt a lasting happiness since I left and I hope it stays with me. They tell you the homesickness goes away, but sometimes, it just doesn't. I was never truly happy elsewhere. I know this is where I belong.
