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

FL Gators:
I'm sorry, I overreacted. Result of ridiculous threads popping up nowadays.

Oya, why are yu scared?

thanks 4 apologising, accepted. maybe because i have had too many set backs, dat being too happy is too good 2 b true.

[quote author=oyinda. link=topic=285039.msg4040704#msg4040704 date=1245219045]it's normal to be afraid of extreme happiness. but how scared are you cathy? that's the question. if the fear is preventing you from living a normal life then it can be classified as a phobia[/quote]encountered too many set backs and used to being more sad than happy, mayb dats y

justwise:
I can relate to ur exprience, it happened to me couple of yrs back. Because i had some set-backs in my life, i don't know what happiness is again, when something good happens to me i will be afraid to celebrate it.

One of my best mates was shocked at my behaviour the day i was given a permit here, i did not look happy, i was afraid of shouting or jumping for joy. But i'm getting over it now by thinking positively, remembering what God has done for me, remembering how far he has brought me. Refused to do things that reminds me of my past, i can go and on

that is d same with me, too many set backs, that i already know what being sad is, that when i am happy, too happy, i even try to make myself sad so it would not be new when something bad happens to me again, like i am expecting it.

I responded to your other one. check it[/quote]yes i did. thank you 4 responding. i am new here and don't really know how it works

[quote author=oyinda. link=topic=285040.msg4040653#msg4040653 date=1245217616]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[/quote]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.

FL Gators:

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?
