I think if you're used to being depressed then when you get back to "normal" it doesn't feel normal. it's like I'm not used to being happy. I'm used to being unhappy so happy feels kind of scary. It's also kind of like stopping drinking. I stopped drinking in March but had a short relapse in November otherwise I'd have a year sober time, and everyone is telling me how much better I look and sound, but I was drinking for so long that I'd forgotten how to live like a normal person, so even though I'm slowly getting some of my confidence back, I still feel reallly tentative and uncertain in my new life.

I think any change is hard to get used to, even if it is a positive change.
