I have to admit it. Today was the best day I've probably had in a month or so. I was more or less at peace and the times when memories and emotions began to invade, I was able to cope without too much difficulty, and even though my thoughts still rarely leave my abandonment issues, I was able to think about it in a "wise mind" without the bad stuff creeping in too much.

Then why do I feel guilty? It's like my mind is trying to tell me "how dare you cope. It's not allowed. Get back to feeling miserable."
And, of course, if I think that way too long, I WILL slide right back.

Anyone else feel this way? Can anyone explain the reason why or give me ideas on how I can counter it? I WANT to have a good day now and then and feel as though I deserve it and don't sabotage it. Any thoughts?
