When I'm feeling good I anticipate feeling bad.

[Joe.]

The past few days I have been feeling much better!
However.........
When I start to feel good, thoughts like why am I feeling good this is not NORMAL creep in. And even worse after a while of feeling good I expect and anticipate something bad to happen soon, if it is good now.
Anyway to stop this romination? Or even manage this thought.

My thought is that there are feelings and then there is our reaction to the feeling.

Many things can make us feel sad. And others can make us feel happy. I think if we allow ourselves to feel both of these 'colours' of the rainbow it's not so bad.

Where I get into trouble is fear. Fear of feeling sad or alone or rejected - and when that fear comes I contort myself into obsessive rumination on how I can avoid the feeling. And THAT IS the entire problem, not the sadness.

Food for thought. Perhaps a meditation is to ask yourself 'what is the worst feeling I can have, label it, and then ask if it is infinite pain or just something on your inner tv screen.
