Normal is scary. Things aren't good right now. Money is tight, my disability was denied, my job is hanging on the disability appeal, I'm trying to figure out two trips we're taking the end of the month as far as money and stuff is concerned. The scary part is I'm not overly worked up over it.
In situations like this I'm used to being so stressed that I'm either on the verge of tears constantly, or so irritable even I can't stand being around me, but I'm not. I don't know how to handle this calm. I feel like I should be panicking but I'm not. What am I supposed to do now?

Try to embrace it and feel grateful if you can. I hope your trips at the end of the month are for good reasons and you can enjoy them.

They are for the holidays, so are definitely welcome. Maybe my problem with this feeling is that I'm so used to swings, I don't want to hope too loudly that my meds are working, I'm afraid that it isn't going to last.

I understand not wanting to hope and then it stops. I say for now take advantage of it as much as possible.

It is so hard to just enjoy feeling "not all freaked out". Just try to .... even if it's minute by minute. You deserve a break
