Normally I just exist. I rarely feel ‘happy’, but it has happened a few times in my life.

Thing is, every time I start to feel happy, something bad seems to happen within a few days or a week at most. So now, I try to avoid feeling happy. When I do feel happy, it triggers my anxiety because I worry that something bad is coming. And when the bad thing actually does happen, I’m not ready to deal with it.

I’m still trying to understand why this happens. It’s like the opposite of karma; I get punished when I’m happy because the universe doesn’t seem to want that for me.

Yeah, I have felt that way too. And still do sometimes.

My heart goes out to you.

Feelings don’t last forever, just like everything else. Good times come and go. So do bad times. Try not to get too excited or too down. Learning to manage your emotions is an important skill, called DBT. I recommend looking into it.
