It's always up and down, at the moment it's a bit down as I've spent the last month or two doing absolutely nothing.
Firstly I'm happy cos I'm gaming, at uni, have some mates and a girlfriend, and all in all pretty fortunate. In terms of my uni work I'm on a first and have some saved up, as in I can get a total of -16% under the 70% mark in the next few modules I'm waiting on and still remain on a first.. so thats good.
But then there the constant feeling of being looked down upon because I don't have a job. I don't have a job because I don't feel like I need it. Having to go work in customer service related jobs (the only things you can get as a student) just because people feel I need to be doing something just pisses me off. I don't really spend much and have a lot of left over money from student loans saved up in my bank (because my family doesn't earn much, it means the government dump loads of free money on top of the loans). I then always feel down because of my uni degree - It's BSc Games Design, and there's not one day where I don't think how stupid it is, but I just have to hold on and hope getting a first in it might actually get me somewhere.

I'm kinda "Eh" at the moment. I'm in a good enough mood for now, but I'm constantly reminded of how I royally fucked up within the past 24 hours.
:| I can never seen to get out of that mode. I start to feel happy, then almost instantly after I get really sad, which tends to last a lot longer than the happy.
Oh my rod, people... Lighten the fuck up.
I don't know what has happened to you, but I sincerely doubt it to be anything actually worthy of saying "I'm depressed" or "No, I'm not happy at all".
What's with the indifference? The ":|". What is that? Some sort of hipster way of saying "Wow I'm so cool and apathetic"? Seriously, come on. Stop being such fools and embrace life and everything in it. See a psychologist if you are unable to do so.
For gods sake... "Don't worry, be happy."

I currently have no games console thanks to god-damn exams. (I have no mouse for my laptop at the moment so that's not an option 
) I haven't been out for ages thanks to once again exams. But I'm currently on the home straight and looking forward too 12 weeks of summer holidays.
So it will go from a to quite soon just have to keep working...

Yep. I'm currently in a prolonged state of happiness. I'm getting on with my life, embracing new challenges, even the scary ones and I have nothing to complain about. I'm alive, I'm (somewhat) healthy, I'm eating properly, I'm drinking water, I'm making new friends and there's still a hell of a lot more ahead.
To all you people who say 'I'm depressed' or 'I'm apathetic' I have message: Switch off your damn computer for a week. Go outside and do something, or stay inside and learn a new skill! Force yourself if you have to, it works wonders for your well being.
In short. Get busy or get dead.

Hang on...I think I have something around here somewhere that explains my life most of the time.
Ah, here it is.
Ah, here it is.
Do you want happiness? Do you want the secret I've been using for years just to cope? It's very simple. Be Happy.
Cute girl isn't interested? Be happy. Cat dies? Be happy. Fail exam? Just be happy. No matter what happens, tell yourself that. Be happy. Smile as you spend another night alone, when you see the one girl who might have made you happy in someone else's arms; against their lips. Smile.
Because the mind is quite a powerful thing. If you keep this up long enough, soon, you will truly convince yourself that you're happy. You can go to work, school, or college, and no matter what happens that day, you'll still be happy. Only in the early hours of the morning will the reality of it start to sink in, but you can just ignore it. Who's around to see your facade fall at 2am? No one, because god forbid they see the sad, self loathing person you are behind the mask -no, mask is not the right word.
It's not just a mask of a smile that you keep up, anyone could do that. You can go about your day and be genuinely happy, with this new demeanour, you can have friends again; and who knows, there may even be a girl who starts to show interest. You're actually happy. Until you're at home of course, at 2am, with no friends, or cute girl to keep you mind off itself. That's when you start to remember how sad you are. You have time to think about everything in your life, and you remember why you shouldn't be happy. But of course, the next morning comes with a whole new set of distractions and you can feel happy again.
It's 2am, and I feel like dying.

I think quite the opposite way.s0denone said:
Whenever someone says "I'm happy with my life", I secretly don't believe him. Somehow I think total happiness is impossible, everybody has got problems he never talks about, with anyone.
Then again, maybe I just project my character on others. Hmm.
EDIT:
"Some sort of hipster way of saying 'Wow I'm so cool and apathetic'?"
"For gods sake"
Really, why don't you just let people be? When someone says he's sad, I doubt you know better than him how he feels.
Maybe you do. How the hell should I know?Bloodstain said:
I don't care what you do- or do not believe. I know from personal experience that pretty much everything can be overcome, and while there are certain things I may be unhappy with, I will always be happy, mostly to be alive and know that I am able to help those that I care about.
To me most of these teenage-morons saying "I'm so depressed" probably haven't experienced half of what would make an actual depression, much less even actual "hindrance" apart from something very superficial.
It is just my opinion, though: These emo-"My life is in shambles!! whine whine whine"-kids are getting on my nerves.
EDIT to your EDIT:
What? You are taking out what I wrote to the ":|" option and attributing it to sadness? As far as I'm concerned ":|" equals indifference. Don't put words in my mouth, regardless of whether or not what you say is true.
