Is this normal I’m scared to feel better? When I’ve had this condition in the past it took me months to get over the depression and bad feelings but it’s only been 10 days and I’m not feeling that bad anymore still bad just not as bad as I was in the past but now that’s scaring me that I feel ok for once ? Like it’s to soon and something must be wrong!! Hate this thought process of mine it’s exhausting

Bmac, it's absolutely normal to be afraid of getting better. We have been groomed to bescared, miserable, anxious that when the sun does break through, we either worry about

how long it will last or why am I feeling better??

It may not make any rhyme or reason unless we step back and realize that change is difficult

for us to accept. This is when we need to re-access our thoughts and fears.

Embracing the good days and not worrying why they are. :) xx
