See-saw

Why is it whenever there are good things happening I can't entirely enjoy them because there is always that feeling of impending doom?

"Waiting for the other shoe to drop" I think would be the phrase. My definition is "For every good thing that happens there is at least one bad thing on it's way."

It always leaves me on edge and uneasy, I wonder if is some sort of a syndrome for this or something.

Maybe it's just me.

Does that mean something good just happened?

I read this a few days ago and wanted to think on commenting before I did. I know what you mean. It was a pervasive, persistent state of mind a few years back. A lot of it had to do with having a small child and being a single parent I had to work which for my son meant child care.

Now that he's older and in school and goes to an afterschool program life has settled into a comfortable reassuring normalcy where I'm grateful that nothing happens. Well for the most part.

Hang in there. As they say this too shall pass.
