Around 4-5 I guess. On a positive note everything with my partner is good now, I have my family and my pets. What's dragging me down is my OCD and the recent bouts of panick attacks that have started to plague me.

Probably 2 at the moment. Been getting depressed with all this uni work overlord and no job or anywhere to go when i finish in June. The fact im 5ft 4 means that always gets shoved in my face when i ask a girl out. So permanently reminded that im going to be alone for the rest of my days fun times. Hopefully things will improve soon before i give up completely.

I'd give life an 8 right now - I've been sick basically since before Xmas but I'm finally a bit better now. Soooo weak though, but I've started eating more and got to the gym to build some strength so that's on its way! I've finished uni, passed my final exam last month. My relationship is as perfect as always *gets all soppy* :smile:

I'm making new friends and I can actually talk to them. I'm thinking of setting up a business maybe and have a lot of motivation at the moment. I'm going home more often and getting on better with my family too.

My down points would be the lack of a job and money but then again I'm only out 3 months and I've been sick for most of that. I do get depressed every so often for no reason but not as much as I used to. Another thing in the last week to put a downer on my mood is the presence of a few *whispers* rodents in my flat *shudder* I hate hate hate them, they make me cry!!!! Also being really weak upsets me every now and then, I'm so impatient and this obviously isn't a quick fix problem. Everything is nearly perfect at the moment though.

I reckon 8. Despite dissertation being due in 6 weeks.

2. I'm in my final year of University and seem to have lost motivation to do anything, including my dissertation. That and the fact that I have no plans for after I've graduated.

But then again, if God exists, and has given you certain gifts, then surely he intended you to use them, so you shouldn't be happy until you have put them to good use, which is when I think my happiness will be around the 10 mark. Plus, isn't family meant to be very important in Catholicism?

the Lord will make you happy! the gifts you have are from the Lord alone and the fact that you have those gifts, whether or not you use them is enough to make you happy and turn your face unto the Lord in gratitude!!

family alone will not maximise your happiness. on ash wednesday the priest says 'Remember that thou art dust, and to dust thou shalt return. —Genesis 3:19 '

your family are great and love you but they are temoprary. they will become afflicted by ilness and old age and die. they are not perfect and you wil fight and disagree with them.

whereas the Lords love is unconditional and eternal and all enduring. even if you do something bad the Lord will frgive you. the Lord died for you for YOUR SINS!! many studies of dying folk found those who prayed and those who didnt died the same rate BUT those who prayed had much less anxiety and stress about dying and illness than those who didnt.

Probably a 3

8/10! I have good friends at uni, and all my uni work is going good so far!

4 or 5 I think. There's a hint of optimism in me for once - I may actually try and tell my doctor the truth about my mental health for once on Friday which would be a huge load off my mind.. Have just rearranged my room too which has made me smile.. Have just also written a list of all the tasks I need to do Uni-wise so maybe I might get somewhere... Only 5 because I'm blimmin starving and waiting for Tescos delivery!

It varies. I'd say it fluctuates between 4-7 on average. Might occasionally dip down to 2, or head up to 9.

11. No point in being sad, people have it worse than me.

This, but because I'm also genuinely very happy,

Around 5.5

10

Years of work have finally paid off for me, so i'm pretty pleased atm :biggrin:

Used to be really depressed but i've learnt to make the most of things, and after the death of someone close i learnt how trivial some of the things i used to get upset about are, and now they don't get to me.
