[SoKlueles]

yeah, i think things are going tooooo good and i get paranoid

 

[Raptorex]

yes..it may be depression or OCD...there is help...

 

[jaded]

I know what you mean... Sometimes when everything is going perfectly it's easy to think almost that maybe this is like the calm before the story and something bad has to happen because things are just going too well. I tell myself not to think that way though...know that you deserve to be happy and that you should be. Life happens and circumstances change and things may not always go the way you want them to but if something less than ideal comes up you are strong enough to make it past it if you let yourself be.

I always feel guilty. There are millions suffering all over the globe every second of every day. What do I do about it? I spend money on things I don't need rather than be like Ghandi.

YES. These past two years I've been getting arrested every 6 months or so for some bullshit

So when I'm arrest-free for 6 months I start getting really paranoid. Sure enough something happens. I need to stop breaking the law but it's soo much fun.

 

[Razorguns]

i don't know. things have never been "too well" yet. So i guess going by your logic -- should be happy.

 

[velvett]

Never.
I work hard, I celebrate when good things happen.

somethins gotta go wrong cuz im feeling way too good

 

[Ulcasterdropout]

It's never been 'dead on', since I've been an adult.
My health has always been bad.
relationships - never have one.
money's been low.

I've never had all aspects of my life ON at the same time, something has to be at the "working on and desparately hoping for for achievement phase".

So I guess that the same thing.

If everything would be on at the same time I'd be waiting for the "other shoe to drop".

Breakin the law...breakin the law...

I do become insecure with myself feeling guilty when all is well.

It's the insecurity that lurks back and forth of the impermanence of the wellness; it will not be perfect like this forever. The guilt comes in where I know that it isn't permanent and yet I celebrate momentarily.

No, I never feel guilty when all is well. In fact I feel satisfied and proud, like I've accomplished a good thing. In my experience, positive energy produces positive results, and vise versa. When things are down it's more important than ever to have a positive outlook if you want to change things for the better.

It's also important to realize that nothing will ever be perfect or "dead on", life is full of challenges and problems. What matters is how you deal with those challenges.
