What was the happiest period of your life?

[F@#$]

10th to 11th grade. Before that was shit and after continues to get progressively worse.

I was happiest a couple years ago before I started having problems with my partner. We'd just moved to a new place, I loved where I worked and my coworkers and thought I couod actually feel better here. It was the first place that ever felt like home. Then he started hurting me, and I started noticing that I was actually being bullied by some of the female managers, but it was still okay because there was one person, another manager, that made me feel like I could actually do things on my own, and he believed me without even doubting me. When he left I did too, and I kept trying to make things better, but everything just got worse. I tried talking to him but he hates me now and I don't know why.

I don't know if this should go in off-topic or not but here goes.
Since things are coming to a close for me I've been looking back at my life and trying to decide at what point was I the happiest, and I wonder: what was the best/happiest period of your life? not a singular moment like getting married but more like a significant amount of time in your life where you were the most content.

I think the happiest I've been was when I had just started college. I had just started dating my current boyfriend and I felt like I was going somewhere in life. this was before my grades started to slip and my depression started to come back. I miss that part of my life dearly.

Not sure if I've ever been truly happy, but probably before I was 8

In my 20s and early 30s, there were several phases I would consider as the happiest times in my life.

0-10 years old was the happiest time of my life, everything was just about perfect.

There was also a short period, a few months after I had turned 18 when I would stay over at a friend's house once a week. I had just lost a lot of weight + learned how to myself look attractive, he developed some sort of feelings for me and would give me a lot of love and attention and made me feel cared for. Sadly he moved away 6 months later for college.

I'm 45yo, old fart here LUL but my happiest period was 20-25, during my study/graduation, meet a lof of cool people, had some cool friends and started to experience work as intern in a company. Was still living with my parents, having their company at night and pets around me. Money was always short but was very happy that time, driving an old car, eating crap everyday... enjoying life.

Life kinda end to me when it was just work, my mother ask me to find my own place, and I was alone by myself. A lot of love disappointments... and here I am.... loneliness and depressed... ouch....

Before I turned 19, everything went downhill after I turned 19

2022. I was down to every other week therapy appointments, I had new friends, I was writing for the first time in my life, I got an amazing job. I wish I had known how bad things would get, I really wish I had died back then.

My happiest time in my life was during pandemic. I know for some people this topic is hard to go through because of all the bad things that happened back then, but for me was a period of true peace. I played with my friends all the nights, met my first and only love. All was great. Despite of the domestic violence I suffered, at least, there was a light at the end of the tunnel, hope. Now there is not. Anyway, I like to think about it a couple of times a day, makes me feel less pain. Peace to everyone.

I don't think I've had long, extensive periods of happiness, but rather certain events that brought me true joy. Last year I lived the best moment of my life. And I've had beautiful moments in other times too.

2021-ish (before things went to shit) and a few months ago (around September)
2021 I didn't know how good I had it, lots of friends I seemed to get along well with and a short-lived time when I had a partner, lived in a clean, semi-stable household, had a mom.
and September I wasn't the best but had my shit together which was good in itself.
My childhood I won't touch on. I don't consider myself the same person I was back then.

The happiest time of my life is when I sent Nermal to abu-dhabi!

Probably from about the age of 19 to 23 or something. I had grown up in nothing short of a nightmare, but I met a woman whom I fell in love with, and my life went from a living hell to something truly wonderful. But I was too broken to hold on to it, self-centered and emotionally immature, completely unable to express the turbulent ocean of trauma within me. I learned a great deal from that idyllic period and grew a lot as a man, but the cost for that self-growth was high.

18-24 before my sickness started for the past 11 years has been miserable for me am so over it

When I was a child, I used to spend a week or two during the school holidays with my Nana. They were really magical times. Even fairly simple things like going on a bus, baking biscuits, helping her in the garden felt special.

I guess my life has always been shit but i think it was ok until the age of 8. The only time in my life after that when I've felt any joy was when playing video games and listening to music. Life has always been shit lol.
