How much happiness can you expect?

Posted by mist on August 16, 2002, at 11:55:46

What is considered a normal level of happiness? Since I've been mostly unhappy in my life (related to depression but maybe also involving other things) I'm not sure how much happiness is realistic to expect from life. I'm feeling a little better at the moment. (My level of depression has varied throughout my life from severe at times to moderate -- where I'm functional but feel terrible and want to die -- rarely mild.)

But I still feel weighed down sometimes. I'm not sure how to sort out unhappiness from depression, either (in my case, I think it may be easier if one's depression symptoms are mainly physical). I wonder if I'd feel unhappy even if I didn't have symptoms of depression. Maybe it would depend on the duration of the feeling.

Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
