Fear of being healthy? WHAT!?
I’m serious. I’m sure there is a name for this somewhere, but what I’m talking about is when I’ve been doing good. As in the work I have been putting in and the steps I’ve been taking have been working! (sounds great right!) but I have this looming feeling. The feeling of waiting for the shoe to drop. I’m waiting for it to come back. I am terrified of my own brain.
Do others feel this? I know I can’t be the only one. But I feel like I am. And that is the point of sharing this. The nature of depression is isolation. By sharing that I am scared when I haven’t had a breakdown in a while, I hope to connect with more people who understand.
This breaks the isolation. Which in turn breaks the magnitude of hold, our struggles can have over us.
So feel free to connect and comment what it is that makes you feel alone. What is it that you tell yourself, “I must be the only one.”
Whatever that thing is, release it, and release the hold it has over you. I promise you will be surprised by the amount of people that understand exactly what you feel.
