Fear

I had some med changes over a week ago now and have been feeling good, mot manic at all or depressed. It's really wonderful, but I'm filled with anxiety. Is anyone else afraid when they are feeling good?

I am not afraid so to speak, more trepidatious. I am hoping that the feeling I have is the "new normal" for me on meds.
I am feeling pretty good now, however I did check with my psychiatrist to make sure this was not hypo-manic.
I can tell you this is a process, but hopefully you are feeling happy and can get to the point where you can enjoy it!!

I too get anxiety when I start to feel better, for fear depression will rear its ugly head, and unfortunately for me it does.
I hope u stay feeling good. hugs, tedi

Not at first l'm too busy being grateful, after a few hours l pray it will last, a week later l hope its long term after that l enjoy without checking.

Try to enjoy this time, if or when a low comes you will wish you had sat back and worried less

Constantly...to the point it's spoiling my highs. Now I'm working on 'living in the moment' and mindfulness theory. Hope it will work, I love my highs...

Most of the time I am either anxious or depressed. Today I am a little of both and hate it.

Thank you, I am trying to enjoy it. I even seem to be doing well when things go wrong.
