I've noticed this about myself: when I experience what can be described as joy or happiness, I immediately seek to dampen it. Reason I give myself is not wanting to fall off the emotional high. Also told myself I'd rather be on a consistent, low level than face swinging highs and lows. Am I emotionally repressed?

"I'm Only Happy When It Rains" by Garbage...
I don't trust it when I'm happy. I know the fall is coming soon. It's always bittersweet. I know that feeling, of wanting to be in the middle ground. Meds will do that for you, you know. I don't think you're repressed. I think you might be afraid, afraid of the drop off. Are you in therapy? |

Hard to tell where an individual's line is between physically/mentally ill and attitude? If you haven't been "positively stable" what you imagine might not even be what it is like. I was excessively anxious and "introverted" (self-absorbed) most of my life (I'll be 65 this year) and therapy "fixed" that so I'd describe myself as "positively stable" but looking back, what I imagined and what I have -- I could not have imagined having?

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
