Why does intense happiness sometimes trigger anxiety and feel foreign?
being happy feels weird
so a favorite artist of mine, gracie abrams, dropped her album tonight and my anticipation was too high so i skipped to the song with taylor swift featuring it. and i was absolutely just ecstatic and astonished because it was so good. and i was talking to my friend about it. then he proceeds to tell me he bought me the vinyl to this album but the SIGNED ONE?? my emotions were peaking and i literally couldn’t contain my excitement. it was crazy. then as i was calming down i just felt weird being so happy and started bringing in my anxieties. i just felt like being so happy without worrying about anything else was so foreign to me because this has been my life constantly for a year now. like me being that happy can cause me panic because i know something is going to happen and i will be down again
