Is it normal to be scared of being happy..?

I have the strong belief of everything becomes balanced. If i'm sad for a long time, I can look forward to the happiness that is proven to come after it. However when I look at it the other way around, it makes me scared to be happy cause it just means i'll be sad again :(

    Yes. I had a friend who, anytime something significantly good happened, they would become instantly upset because they constantly felt like there was no use to feeling happy, because something was going to come up and ruin it very soon. They were going through a very rough patch and have gotten better since then, but I don't think it's strange at all to feel that way. Best of luck to you, friend

    My best friend says this a lot. She is going through a pretty long depression right now and she’s sometimes okay for a bit but then she just drops. Try getting diagnosed to get medication for depression or maybe a therapist. I don’t have depression myself so I couldn’t give you any tips from personal experience except for what I see my friends go through so sorry about that but hopefully you can feel a little better soon. Just try to enjoy the times that you’re happy💜
