Triggered by good times
Does anyone else struggle with always searching for something to be wrong, especially in good times? When things are good or I get good news I am looking for the next terrible possibility.

Yes sometimes my negative thoughts are like 🍿 in a microwave. It can totally bring me down so I try not to react and then breathe which helps me remember how illogical I feel by only focusing on one part of the spectrum versus big picture. Like going to a museum, seeing a lovely painting but only focusing on the wrong brushstrokes or something. Just probably wouldn't you know, I know it's not the same but analogies help me a great deal maybe they will help you or already do 🙏🏼
I wish there was a haha button. I have always been like that. Even when OCD is not out of control.
I sort of relate. I get over-excited about great things that my body produces too much adrenaline, and I get anxious, which leads to OCD/panic attack getting in the way of me enjoying said good thing. Just let me be happy!!
All the time.
