Are you scared of being happy too?

So recently, there's this confusing fear of happiness. It's really scary, this feeling because all I really want is to be happy but most times I get happy, something just brings me down, worse than I was before. I don't know, I don't know, do you feel this way too?

I hear what you're saying...however I soak up every moment of happy..then I can pull it out during the down times... taking your mind to the happy places during the difficult times really helps me...hope it does the same for you! Fight the good fight for you!

Dump trucks of love, peace, light, joy and cozy hugs for you!!!

Oh my god yes. Both on the superficial level (if I'm happy, what happens when I stop being happy) and on a deep subconcious level (self-sabotage is REAL)
