Greetings to all of you and i would like to share a problem.

I wonder why when i am too happy, i get scared, like it is too good to be true. when i am happy, i always feel like something bad is going to happen to me next. Maybe i have had a couple of bad events in my life that has made me sad, that wheneva i am happy, it does not look right. i know everyone wants to be happy so why am i scared to be (too) happy?

lol I get that feeling sometimes as well. but only when something REALLLY good happens that I was never expecting. then I look forward to something bad happening.

but then again, this only happens when I think about it. ie I feel that I don't really deserve the good thing so to rectify the situation I think of a bad thing that could happen. ex If in the near future, I get a job (knock on wood) I wouldn't worry much about losing my keys or some minor misfortune that I feel corrects the fact that I got something I'm not worthy of. lol

I'm not scared to be happy though. the bad thing that I feel will happen is usually minor compared to the good thing

thank you friend for suggesting unlike d first person dat answered me. yes it is scary for me, and sometimes i pray to God, y am i too happy, is dis not too good to b true when just yesterday, i was crying and in pains.

yea it's normal to feel that way. when you get that feeling, it means that it's too great of a happiness for you to handle so you think something bad will happen to make things normal again or create some sort of a balance.

thinking about the bad that will happen isn't really a bad thing because usually something bad does happen and if you were thinking about prior, you won't worry about it as much

I maybe wrong, I think what you going through is one of the signs of depression. You should seek professional help before it's too late.

mayb but how will they help if it is depression

@cathy,
It is not depression,it is the devil trying to make you look down on yourself,all you need do is run to God cuz true ahppiness comes from him,you might have heaven n earth but cannot be truely happy,that is the work of the enemy,he always remind you of your bad experinces but he is just a deceiver,once he gets ur mind,he gets you,thats what he is doing to you trying to remind you that the last time you are that happy something bad happens but if you can resist him and run to God,those feelings will go away.i bet you on that

Right from your childhood, events and situations have made you to believe, you don't have a right to be happy, but i tell you, its a lie from the pits of hell.
Joy and happiness wells up from inside you, cultivate it by singing praises to God at all times especially when you feel the depression creeping up on you.
The bible says we should count it all joy, even when it seems so hard to, God will never allow you to be tempted above that which you are able to.
Please don't be scared to be happy, the devil will end up camping with you, becos he thrives on fear.
Invite God's presence at all times by being joyful and happy and excited.
Count your blessings and name them all one by one, and you will find a reason to be joyful and happy at all times.
cheers!

the devil always try to take out happiness away, even using ploys of making us feel we dont deserve happiness.
dont be misled, there is nothing wrong with being happy, or celebrating that little success u have achieved.
God wants us to be hence his making provison for happy situations.
