60,

I'm glad there are people like you in the world. In fact, I think a survey revealed that 70% of the population of industrialized nations report being generally "happy" and well-adjusted in their lives. The rest of the 30% of us are cursed, perhaps.

For me, I'm wondering if it's a biochemical issue, because I've tried all the psychological/ spiritual/ emotional avenues, and I keep returning to my base state of feeling blaah. Very rarely do I actually feel "happy" or "joyful" and when I do, I almost immediately notice that it's an anamoly, that it won't last very long. Sure enough, it always happens that I soon feel as down as ever. It must be a physical issue, not a psychological one.
