"I'm Doing Good" vs. "I'm Doing Well"

Well...mental wellness, not winning any campaigns for that. Currently plotting against my own well-being.
Doing good. Haha, obviously not that one.
So, that brings us to the question...how do I respond to the inquiry: "How are you today?"
Fine. I'm doing fine. Say it out loud. "I'm doing fine." Makes me a little sick to my stomach, but only marginally compared to the other ones. More of a slow upward expungement rather than a rushed projectile vomitus. Yeah, Fine is a lie I can swallow the aftertaste of.
And fine is a line I can walk.
