This is so strange. I'm not depressed, I haven't been in many months.
I feel "almost" normal again until I remember how I "used" to feel and I almost freak my mind out so much that I can almost create those same feelings.
it's hard to describe. If I could just "forget" about those horrible 3-4 months of misery I was in mentally, I think I'd be fine. But it's the memory of it that is almost causing me to "go back there."
Does anyone have a clue what I'm trying to say??
I feel like my brain is either in a brain fog or on high alert, but i can't find that medium again.
Blah, blah, blah..
Somebody make sense of what I'm attempting to say. LOL

Hi Spriggy,
Yes! Yes! Yes! I know what you are talking about. I have felt the same way, and it ticks me off LOL. As I start to feel better, I think of how bad I have felt in the past while, and I get into this funk of fear and insecurity and a bit of despondency. It's like I know it's possible to get better, but the "what if" monster has taken up residence in my head sabatoging or highjacking my recovery. I am trying to figure out how to deal with it and get over it myself. I am thinking I may go a bit of therapy to see if I can develop some good techniques.
I hope we can both find a way to put the "what if" monster out of its misery LOL.
You take care. As always, my thoughts are with you.
Tamara

Spriggy, I too know what you mean. I think back to all the panic attacks i had in the past. I haven't had one in ages. But then I say to myself, it's right around the corner. All the what if's . Fondly, Phillipa
