Does this ever happen to anyone else??

2 days ago I began feeling... good. I have recently been through a tough bout with my anxiety and weird physical symptoms (burning/sunburn sensation on skin on and off, arm muscle pains on and off and frequent muscle twitching).

I woke up feeling ok and my day continued with me feeling well - no pains, minimum muscle twitching, no burning, positive mood... I was so happy and as I was driving somewhere, I noticed - I almost feel "normal"!

...And then I began to cry. It began with me feeling so happy and turned into me feeling anxious and scared that the feeling wouldn't last, that my anxiety and symptoms would come back sooner than later and might even be worse... then thoughts of, when will I be ok again? Will this all ever stop?

Before I knew it, the good feelings had faded :(

Then I was upset with myself for allowing my negative thoughts to ruin how I was feeling.

Anyone else get scared when they feel good??

What you describe has been known as self sabotage since back in the early part of the century, I first read of it from a doctor
Low in Chicago who is credited with the earliest form of CBT,
He started the Recovery Inc., method of self help for PAD.
To better answer your question yes almost everyone has done
this, please do not worry, you will get stronger and win. Peace
