Because I'm in a low place and I need some cheering up. When was the last time you really felt really content? Happy?
For me, it was the end of August. Few friends of mine woke me up promising to do something for me, and so we went to a park and they taught me how to ride a bike - something I'd kept putting off for over a decade. It took time, but once I'd learned I felt really accomplished, a genuine feeling of success. Then it got to evening, we (and about seven others that had joined us) played a game of hand tennis on the tennis courts because none of us had racquets, stole one of our friends clothes, smoked a joint or two and I lied on the grass for a bit. It was a really nice day/night, and just made me thankful for the friends I've been able to surround myself with these past few years. I mean I've had some fun nights since then but none have really reached that level of fulfilment, that kinda careless feeling.
Yourselves?

Anytime before June 6th, found out my nan had cancer. I wouldn't wish that on anyone, hearing them words just completely take everything out of you, rip it up, then spit it back at you. Then you gotta stay strong for them, trying to be happy.
someone say they're great all the time, please

Probably some point in the last month, meeting people I felt completely comfortable with and thinking I was getting to know them like my friends at home. Things change quickly, nothing but drama in the past week. I fucking hate winter though, aside from the 2 weeks over xmas it is shite, and the constant cold and dark just gets me down. Bring on summer again, staying out late, sitting outside of pubs and festival season. The happiest times of my life have came at festivals, I basically wait all year for them to come round.

I mentioned this like last week on Neo, I haven't felt down for a long time. I think it's just a mixture of being in work again, being back at uni, having something to do all the time, no big problems in my personal life and then Christmas coming up, I'm in a really good place right now. But I know that won't last and in a few months I'm gonna be a wreck, but I've never been one to get properly, I mean clinically, depressed, so my bad periods might be good for others.

Feeling great is a pretty vague term, sometimes someone compliments me or I do something fun and I feel on top of the world but being unemployed is wank and so boring and I have honestly no idea how people can spend their live just being happily unemployed so it'd probably be sometime before then - most days I just feel meh and bored and when people ask 'what are your plans for tomorrow?' and I can only say 'nothing' I feel this horrible sense of shame. D:
The last thing that sticks in my mind was a massive holiday (15 guys, 12-ish girls) to Magaluf and these girls at the pool asked for a picture with me cause they thought I looked good. That really fed my ego and made about 2 months of gym slavery worth it.
But I've had plenty of feel good moments after that but that request + a lot of all-inclusive alcohol made me feel pretty epic/great.

Suppose it would have been 4 or 5 years ago now when I was in love and all the cheesy shite that goes with it like nothing else matters and so on. Ditto on the unemployed thing Childish

Think the last time was right when I opened my Leaving school exams (leaving cert) and I seen I had done way better than I expected, passing them all and getting some college offers in the process..But this has also led to my downfall as I sat there thinking what the fuck am I actually going to do in life, took a gap year and 4 months in I'm no closer to figuring out what I want to do in college and stuff.
And yes being unemployed is actually fucking shit.

When I was 15, at the end of Year 11. Obviously not felt like shit constantly for 6 and a half years, haven't felt great since then though.

For me it would have to be about 7 months ago, still had a job, able to afford to go out regular with mates. Now I just struggle completely with bills and while I enjoy Christmas, this years has certainly been a struggle. Still managed to save a bit of money for Christmas shopping up tho so, that is a bonus.
I am set to get this new job soon so hopefully things will start looking up.

Damn this thread is kinda depressing. :/
I never really stop to think about how I really feel at any given point, the only times I genuinely can remember feeling down are at deaths (2 in the family and 1 mate). I think they really put things into perspective, in a way, and I stopped giving a shit about most things that might have got me down before.

Obviously have days where I feel great and days where I feel shit but the last time I'd say I was consistently content with where my life was at was probably May, back when I was seeing a top lass, doing well at uni and looking forward to summer.
That summer turned out to be the most stressful 3 months of my life. Couldn't get the hours at work to pay off the debt I'd been living off at uni, found out that a year away had changed me and I didn't get on so well with my old friends. Spent my every sober moment in Malia regretting having spent the money on it and wanting to come home.
Feel better about where I am now, on the way back towards content

I've been happy for the last 6 or 7 months to be honest. Obviously not consistently because I think it's close to impossible to be happy all of the time. I used to be a very negative person but with the help of others I've become a lot more optimistic about a lot of things in life. I also try to see the best in people now, not something I could've credited myself with in the past.
But I'm lucky - I've a job I enjoy (despite working evenings) and is pretty much stress-free, I've got a family I'm very thankful for as we're very close-knit and I've a girlfriend who makes me happy daily and is probably the main reason my view on life has changed.

what a fucking depressing thread haha
don't think I've ever not been happy in my life, there are times that are more stressful than others but I've never felt as if life is getting too much
got so much to be thankful for that being depressed is just never really an option, whatever's happened in my life
I guess, earlier in the year, I was with a girl for the wrong reasons, and she loved me and I just couldn't love her back. I made some poor decisions in that regard which lead to some bad things happening in regards to depression and that sort of shit (not with me, with her)
apart from uni stress right now, life is pretty good, great family, in a new relationship with the most beautiful girl, can't ask for much else
