is anyone else genuinely happy with their lives?

NSFWCW: Multiple

I don’t really know how to put the title to make it make sense but what I mean is obviously we have a disorder and feel things intensely meaning the already bad moments feel 1000x worse. we have felt pain people who don’t have bpd hasn’t experienced and probably never will. I’ve been through hell and back. many suicide attempts. sh and lots of scars on my body. I’ve been in DBT and CBT therapy for 6 months now I think it has helped me tremendously. I am happy. genuinely happy. I love life I don’t want to die even in my past suicide attempts I loved life as well. but I was getting abused for years and when I had super bad episodes I would attempt. I feel extremely happy and grateful that I am alive and get to live life and enjoy nature and the sky. and space :) but I can also be the happiest in the world but I would still feel that empty void inside me. it just seems to never go away.

so that was my question. is anyone else like genuinely happy and loves life but still feels empty inside no matter what you do?
