Do you feel a bit unnerved when your usually terrible mental health is good?

I like it, don’t get me wrong, but I feel a bit...odd? Does that mean I’m about to have a crash or is it just because it’s a feeling I’m not used to?

I’ve been diagnosed and receiving treatment and self help for GAD. I’m so used to flailing from one crisis to another that I don’t really know what to do with myself. Even Dh has noticed how I’m reacting to things differently. Am I cured? Grin

Well it can’t last forever so maybe it is finally going!
I had GAD and I’m happy to say it has buggered off now. It did come back after a year but only for a month and with the help of a meditation app, I managed to get rid of it again. Hopefully it’s gone for good now. But what I tell myself is, if it does come back, not to worry as I know what to do to get back to ‘me’ again.
I think the more you learn about how to deal with GAD the more in control you feel and that helps so much.

I think you’re right, I know far more about my thoughts and reactions now and techniques to keep it more in check. I’m not 100% out of the woods and I think I’ll always be a more anxious (scaredy-cat) type person but feeling so much better at the moment is amazing.
