not sure how to be happy? on the rare days that i feel well, i feel like i prevent myself from letting go and being happy in the moment. what if it's me wanting to be depressed because i dont know how happy feels anymore? is it a comfort zone thing?

It could be a comfort zone thing. Something about that theory doesn't seem right though. I can be comfortable in depression but I sure don't want to stay that way. Its the worst when going from a period of doing good back into one.
Here is another thread on it. http://forums.psychcentral.com/depre...being-sad.html

Hi Bipolar Gemini,
I think it could be fear. Sending you a hug

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