It depends. How close are you to this person and how much do you normally share?

Be honest OP. If they can't handle it then at least they'll fuck off and stop trying to virtue signal or drag you into their own shit. Sometimes people ask that in hopes you'll ask back so they can unload on you regardless of what your response is.

Or maybe they'll understand and give you some comfort. Either way you have nothing to lose by being honest about it.

I say 'good thanks you?' like i've been saying since I was 15 after my parents spent 4 years trying to get me to say it.
If I'm not in a good mood I just ignore the question and only say the above if they ask me it again 2-3 times.

"Not to bad" if your feeling average or okay.
"Can't complain" if your feeling better than okay.
"It could be worse" if things aren't going so well.

Usually I just be honest.
Most of the time I'm just fine, nothing really happening.
But there's always those times when my mind is wandering to the darker places of thought, and I get to explain to them exactly how I'm feeling.

"Alright, you?"
All I usually go with, but I'm a boring fuck that lives at work and in my room.

Last time someone asked me this I just said "You don't want to know. Please don't bother."

I'd tried to kill myself through dehydration but the night before I was just so fucking thirsty I drank until my body let me sleep.
