HAPPY? SAD?

[EY58]

I am happy at the same time sad. You know that feeling?

In my twenties, when I started seeing a therapist, I went on medication. I remember that winter day in January vividly. It was the first time in 10 years I wasn't sleeping non-stop, I could actually smell the cold winter air, and I had enough energy to play in the snow with my three year old. I remember crying in therapy about how bittersweet that moment was. I felt I had gotten a piece of me back that was robbed from me in high school. I weaned off the medication a long time ago and no longer need it now that I'm well overall. It's moments like these that make me both happy and sad.

I know this feeling. Do you have any ideas on how to cope with it? I'm still trying to figure out how.
