Stable emotions? Not!!

Do you ever wonder what it would feel like to be happy and energetic most of the time? I can be stable for awhile and then see something or read something and be scared and anxious again!

Yes, all the time. Even when I feel I am in a better spot, it can come crashing down by a simple trigger from the past. The main thing I remind myself is that it's not forever. It's just for today and tomorrow will be a new day.

Same! I’ll have a good day and think this is a new leaf and it’s all downhill from here. Only to have another bad day/episode. Ugh. Disheartening!

Yes! All of the time! I will have a fantastic great months and then one day, BAM something changes. I read something, see something, or sometimes nothing at all happens and the anxiety and depression just consumes me. Ugh, life is tough for us anxiety sufferers.

It is hard! I should live in a bubble or somewhere with no bad news! Maybe I could stay happier that way!

I cant watch the news very often or else I start the downward spiral. And God forbid if I see any medical articles.
