Happy Feelings
Hey Y'all!
So, I don't really have anything major to report but that's a good thing! The things that I'm struggling with these past few days actually aren't related to anxiety or co-dependency. They are just your run of the mill young adult problems. I have to say though, it feels kind of nice to just feel like a normal girl.
A part of me is waiting for the other shoe to drop. You guys ever feel like things are too good to be true? That it's almost suspicious that things are going well? That's a little bit like how I feel. I've had a pretty good couple of days; no drama, no anxiety, no co-dependency issues. Actually, I feel like how good it's been is going to start giving me anxiety, haha!
In all seriousness, I've spent my entire life trying to cope with and manage anxiety. Ever since I can remember, it's been there. Then this year, the ADD and dependent personality disorder comes to light and it's like, ugh! Great! Another thing for me to worry and stress about. If I'm not dealing with one, I'm dealing with the other. It's quite overwhelming. Perhaps, that's why I feel so suspicious about these last couple of days. I'm not used to things being so... good.
I think this weeks lesson is going to be to appreciate the good feelings and to not take them for granted. It might be weird to feel happy, but we should feel it and enjoy it!
Some of us have become used to the negative feelings we constantly experience that anything other than that is so foreign and we don't know how to deal with it. For me, feeling truly happy is scary and I will inevitably sabotage myself to get back to those more familiar unhappy/uncomfortable feelings. It's like purposefully listening to sad songs to make yourself feel sad. Ridiculous, right?
We all need to learn to enjoy those little moments where everything is alright. It's okay to feel happy. You are entitled to every feeling you have whether it be happy, sad, excited, upset, or mad. Instead of being suspicious or sabotaging yourself when your happy or when things are going well for you, revel in the feeling. It's okay, I promise.
Another thing to remember is that life is made up of good and bad moments. You can't have one without the other. At some point things will be hard and we will be tested and all those unpleasant ones will come back to visit us but just like those unpleasant feelings... the good ones will be back too.
Stay positive my pretties and enjoy your happy feelings!
With Love & Support,
