This might seem like a crazy question but,has anyone felt that when they are doing better..they become scared because of not knowing how to go about living as a better healthier person? Here is my explanation...tell me if im not making any sense...i hope I am...I have been in therapy for a while and when I first started in therapy I was a wreck. Now however..Im probably the best I have ever been. Im less depressed, my mood is under control, and Im taking better care of myself. Now that this is happening though, I am scared. I have never felt this good and Im not used to feeling like this and Im scared. I have been learning to depend less on others and more on myself..I have always suffered with co-dependency issues and so it is kind of hard being this independent...I feel like now that my life is better, its going to fly by. I have always been afraid of growing older and moving on with my life and yet when Im depressed and not doing well..it is like MY time stands still and Im stuck in one place..but NOW it is like im moving on ...WHICH IS A GOOD THING..but, Im scared. I feel like im alone and on my own and I dont want to be. Has anyone felt this way ..that they dont really know how to function as a "well" indiv? Dont get me wrong...I am extremely happy that im doing so well ...and I do want to be better...but I dont know what to do now that I am!
