The “Too Good To Be True” syndrome
Why do so many of us who suffer from anxiety/depression/phobias always wait for something bad to happen?
Why can’t we just wholeheartedly accept a good thing?
Sometimes I find myself in such a good day…then I go on to ruin it by letting out the dark thoughts from their room. I start thinking, ‘Wait, wait…this good day won’t continue…what if (fill in the blank) happens or what if (fill in the blank) happens.
I actually found myself NOT giving in the the “TGTBT” syndrome today. Oh…it fought the good fight and tried to get the best of me, but my positive, confident side won. It was nice. I actually got to take in the day I had and be happily reflective on it.
Now if only I could have more days like these.
