What Does Happiness Really Feel Like When You’ve Never Known It?

I’m 44 and have lived with major depression for as long as I can remember. My childhood was rough—abuse, neglect, and pain shaped my early years. Even with all that, I managed to put myself through college and grad school, and now I have a great career and a loving wife. Recently, my new psychiatrist tried a different approach with my meds, and for the first time, I feel... different. Not happy, exactly, but more like the absence of pain. Is this what happiness is supposed to feel like? I honestly don’t know. If you’ve ever wondered the same, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
