Why is it that every time something really good happens, I always feel like I have to suffer to deserve it?

Question

Y'know, I just found out I'm graduating today, and now I'm scared out of my mind because I think some huge "impending doom" is going to come crashing down on top of me, and I'll be crippled or killed or something before it happens. I found out my sis wants to take me to Latin America to translate for her, and I feel like the plane's going to crash either on the way there, or on the way back. I went to Jamaica for a funeral and I was okay with it. But when I went back for the cricket semi-finals, I was almost certain something would happen to me--for no other reason than the fact that I was enjoying myself. Why can't I just be happy, or experience happiness in peace??

Answer 1

This could be a symptom of a psychological disorder, such as general anxiety disorder. Why don't you have yourself evaluated by a psychologist or psychiatrist?

Answer 2

You need to understand...Just a few things' from the LIFE we LIVE. We need to find the negative in the happiness we see... When all around us we see so much negative...so much unhappiness. OR! There is the alternate to where we have been the creator of the negative and, therefore feel we do not deserve the happiness, then the ULTIMATE :o(... where we have expirenced a GREAT negative and feel ashamed of the happiness... and the FACTS' still remains...........!!! NONE of these things are our fault and we should remain positive and HAPPY in the happy things that sometimes happen or all the times, in our LIFE (which is short) and remember that all THINGS are an experience of the above stated life, for growth purposes, including tradgedy and, even DEATH... nothing to fear though. Just LIFE! Keep living it, the feelings will not go away, you just learn to appreciate the reality of them.
I hope GREAT things for U! PEACE NOW B W/U!

You sound such as you have a pessimistic outlook. you particularly sound like me fairly. i'm annoying while something valuable take place to me, that's going to likely be observed by ability of a disaster. of direction, it would not take place this style yet i would be unable to help myself. i'm announcing that just so as which you recognize, you at the instant are not on my own in this sense. i'm gaining information of to rejoice with the 2nd merely devoid of thinking of the destiny. i realize it helps me at situations. so which you will attempt it and stress your self to think of valuable strategies, or to not think of too lots into the destiny, merely immediately, the 2nd you're in. It enables. i'm hoping not something yet valuable issues take place to you.
