Have you ever been asked the question "How are you?" and found yourself without words to describe a response?

When I get asked this, I wonder in myself for a while and think "I don't know how I am... I'm not happy, but I'm not sad, so I guess I'm not really anything." and just tell the person that I'm "alright." Sometimes I give them the full-on thought and receive an odd look and lecture on how I complicate things.

yes but i was like that before i had dr, i usually think too myself well im not dying and i havent won the lottery so i guess im just alright

yeah, if I say I'm not doing fine I'd had to explain that well, for instance you don't seem alive to me, and it feels like it's not me talking right now. And the fog in my head, oh man.... so I'm ok, thank you for asking.

A simple "meh" works for me most of the time. =P

i have noticed this more recently actually...

when at work and people ask me how i am i just say alright....and then panic a bit in my head as i am actually not feeling alright in all honesty and i am not even feeling like myself let alone alright...

but what can you say?

"i am feeling detached from reality even more so than usual today and i do not think i can cope anymore"?

i do not think so haha...

i think we just say we are alright automatically its easier than explaining but after you say yeah i am ok you panic for in case this is it.....and this is the way it is
