    I’m even sadder now that I see not everybody is sad.

    3. However I read it
    wrong and put 7! I hate my job. My daughter has a serious life long illness and is awaiting major surgery to improve her health. I have a rare form of a rare disease which I have had
    three life threatening complications from including one caused by medicine to try and prevent another complication! In the last three years I've had two major and one minor surgeries. One of these operations was to try and cure the rare disease but it was only partially successful and I will need another major operation which will be more complicated due to scar tissue and the other health problems caused by the disease. I have daily pain, fatigue and chronic insomnia. And to top it all off I also have a Dick of an ex husband who has a full time job suing people! Even though we have been divorced for a couple of years he is still causing hassle. I had to change my phone number and spam him on email. And that's the tip of the iceberg!

    Solid 9.
    Good heath, good money, good job, good friends, no commute.

    Planning on buying a house soon. I live out in the country so prices aren't insane.

    A 10 would invole getting into a relationship, but I'm quite content at the moment and it's more for lack of interest on my part that I'm not in one.

    I think what helps with some people is they are easily pleased.

    Or maybe some people fought tooth and nail to get to where they are now, maybe in work, in life, in general and they're happy on average with what they've achieved and how it's worked out

    There's nothing wrong with being easily pleased and being content with your lot.

    I'd take that over constant worry and feeling of inadequacy and inferiority that some successful people have.

    Earlier this year I broke up with the love of my life.

    We remained friends and recently met up a few times.

    I attempted to get back with her but found out she is now dating someone else.

    I’ve never known such pain.

    1/10

    That's sh*t man, but you probably know what you should have done.. Yes, its tough but you should have cut her out of your life and moved on with yours instead of setting yourself up for hurt.

    Cutting her out doesn't mean you don't love her any more, or any less. It means you love you and you want to move on, as hard as it is but without her in your life.

    Right now you're just picking at the scab of a healing wound.. Leave it alone and let yourself heal.

    Hope you're good, be strong & stoic.

    A 5 I think. At least that’s how it feels. Few things I need to fix.

    I hear ya. It doesn't feel one bit like it but it will get better.

    Keep occupied - throw yourself into activities. It'll be hard but you've got to force yourself when you just feel like moping on the couch (that makes it much worse and prolongs it too).

    And be kind to yourself.

    - I have great family and friends, couldn't ask for better.
    - Work is going good again. Had a rough few months where I very nearly left (after 8 years) due to issues where extra work was being piled on and wages were very poor. Had a word with my manager, explained how I felt and he informed me that they 'didn't want to lose me', and he arranged for work load to be shared out more evenly and got a substantial payrise just a few weeks ago.
    - Financially doing a lot better, because of said pay rise.
    - My 22 year old daughter is doing great at college, and very happy.

    Voted 7 due to 2 negatives:
    - I'm in love with one of my good friends, but afraid to tell them in case they don't feel the same and I ruin the friendship
    - My Dad died recently. He was very sick and in pain, so he wouldn't have wanted to continue like that, but he was a relatively young man. I hate that he's not here anymore. I miss him everyday.

    All in all, my life is defiantly filled with more positives than negatives at the momement

    Last 6 months have been a 1 so I'm afraid I've had to go for that. Its probably really a 3 but you tend to get wrapped up in your own sh*t sometimes don't ya.
