I agree.  I feel that way too.  I feel like if I am feeling happy I should stop because I gotta "whatch it" or else type a things.  Its repetative.  I feel like I am always second guessing my feeling and anxiety is the culprit.  i am better then I was but I udnerstand where you are coming from.

It's common to feel anxiety after we feel good about something. By we, I mean anxiety sufferers. Anxiety can make us feel that we either don't deserve to feel good, or makes one look over their shoulder because feeling good or happy can seem foreign when usually we are in panic and distress. A therapist can work with you on allowing yourself to experience pleasant feelings. You're not alone with being afraid of sleep...there are a lot of posts here related to that. It's terrible to fear going to sleep. It's really awful how anxiety can make you miserable and doubt anything that might be positive....I know. I hope more people add to this  because anxiety after glimpsing positive feelings is often not touched upon....and it's a very disturbing effect of the disorder.
