wow thank you for sharing these!
Is any of you blame yourself for feeling happy? I've been trying to get better and deal with the trauma that I've experienced but when I feel happy or I forget what I'm dealing with, my brain tells me to stop and feel worse. I feel like I shouldn't be happy and when I feel bad, my brain relaxes. I don't know if that makes sense and I want to learn if I'm alone dealing with a that kind of situation.
@TheOliveTreeLookingForPeace Yes, that's a common thought. Your brain isn't used to what it experiences, it tries to get back to what it knows so well, to feel 'at home'. Remember it's just a thought. You don't need to believe it. Personally, I think you have every right to be happy when you feel like it.
@cloudySummer thank you so much for responding and supporting! You're so kind 😊
