I didn't really know where to post this thread, but I felt expressing how I feel at the moment.

I don't know what suddenly clicked in my life, but after having anxiety and depression for 5 years, I now feel happy? It's the best feeling in the world to me at the moment, to feel truly happy.

I hope this feeling never goes away, I don't even want to sleep because I'm afraid I'll lose this feeling and fall back into a slump.

How'd that happen? Please share your secret. The only time I felt a sudden change towards happiness/a feeling like I can do anything literally, is when I took Klonopin, during a serious time of stress 11 years ago. I may actually go back on it, come to think of it. I never felt addicted to that or Xanax, however I don't necessarily recommend meds. Actually, I've been anti-meds the last few years, so me saying what I just said about using Klonopin again is a lil surprising even to myself. I guess I'm close to being fed up. During brushing my teeth before, I actually felt sick & tired of being anxious. [Sorry for extra rant]

I just woke up one morning, turned on some music and something clicked. I guess I decided I was sick of letting depression and anxiety rule over me and I actually wanted to be happy and enjoy my life again. I also recently changed my diet to incorporate more fruits and vegetables, so maybe that had something to do with it.

Don't waste another minute being afraid of your happiness evaporating. Instead, do all you can to preserve it. That'll increase the odds of it coming back if you become upset.

Do what makes you happy. Best wishes, you can do it.
