For the past week I have been so happy. Everything seems to be falling into place. I actually think this is the happiest I have been in about 5 years or so. I finally think I have found who I truly am and I am totally comfortable with who I am. I feel amazing.
But then I get a little thought in my head that something is going to go wrong. That someone is going to come along and ruin everything for me.
Is it normal to think like that when I'm happy? How can I just enjoy my happiness without thoughts that it's going to end very soon?

    Just try to accept that emotions are pretty unpredictable. You could become very sad within the next hour or never be sad until next year!

    I feel like I don't have a way of saying something which will stop you thinking the way you are, and I can't alter what you're thinking. Neither can you, really. You'll either continue to feel this way or snap out of it. So just let yourself think, and just try to be grateful that you're happy. You can't just will it away, if that's the correct way of saying that:L?!

    I envy you. I'm very unhappy and I don't think it will ever change.

    You could be a pessimist, or you could be depressed. Talk to a professional. Either way, its not unusual.

        so did your story. everybody has good and bad times and they think things are gonna fuck up just around the corner. it's life. things are gonna fuck up sooner or later. and then you'll be like, "oh i was right all along, the good times were too good to be true". just enjoy the ups, and be alright with the downs. it's how we all grow. it doesn't matter if you're good or smart, goddammit, things fall apart.

    just try to be more self-confident. And less pesimist. You are happy, don't riun it.

    Last time i felt like this i had volunteered to pour wine at a gallery. I had such a good time and chatted like i never had before. I felt like i was liked and fit in and that my services would be further needed for more important things.

    I was happy, but still, i felt an uneasiness. I think that first night lifted my expectations about the place a bit too much. I volunteered my services once more, during the day and.... Quite frankly the job just wasn't as fun without the wine. There was absolutely nothing for me to do there, except keep the graphic designer company. Pffft!

    You're just high on life. Enjoy it while it lasts and don't overthink it.

    Things can't and won't always be rainbows and daisies. Sad but true.
