I tend to be easily contented. I was depressed about 13 years ago, but it took a combination of open heart surgery, breaking off an engagement, and my ex-fiancee taking most of my friends with her on the way out to get me there. I saw a therapist for a few months and have been my usual cheerful self since.
I'm currently having some difficulties (crashed my car in last week's ice storm, for one, but I'm completely unhurt) but they aren't phasing me much. I don't have an SO, but I've got good friends, the affection of other people's children and pets, and I don't want for anything I really need. There are hundreds of millions of people who would envy my life, and I keep that in mind when things get rough.
