You must find joy within that is not dependent on someone else. You only find that kind of joy can only be easily found in a relationship with Jesus. Going deeper with Him is the only thing that gives me peace after all these years.

Yes one can be happy living with SPS. Although some can't. If the family don't/can't understand how SPS affects the sufferer it can be difficult. If possible get a hobby, be it alone or shared.

Absolutely you can live a happy life with Stiff Person Syndrome. Just like living a life without it you just have to try.
Keep a positive attitude, find new hobbies that match your abilities, make new friends that understand your condition or what it's like to live with chronic illness.
I also believe that seeing a mental health professional on a regular basis is key to staying grounded, self aware and mentally clear.

Yes you can be happy with SPS. You have to roll with the punches and take it one day at a time. The biggest thing you can do is advocate for yourself, take part in support groups who understand what you're going through and try to keep a positive attitude.

One day at a time. Try to avoid stressful situations and conflicts. As with any chronic disease, you will go through the stages of grief. Try to maintain a social life, mental stimulation and physical activity as much as you can tolerate.

It is usual for patients with S. the person rigid, suffer from depression. First, because it takes a long time to be diagnosed, and second because it is a degenerative process. No one understands the problem, but that what they suffer, and they are very few. Between 1 to 2 per million. 2/3 of the women.
