Anyone else feel tricked by the occasional good days?

[BluesRunTheGame]

Then the bad days come back and you're like wishing you'd been planning ctb a bit harder on the good days?

 

[Spitfire]

Yes

 

[WornOutLife]

Yes, all the time! (especially because of being a bipolar guy.)

 

[signifying nothing]

Yes, sometimes the same day. One part of me is convinced things are getting better, just need another day, another week, things are changing. Then by the end of the day I'm back on my ass or worse than I started.

 

[_Kaira_]

Yes. I don't seem to learn from it either.

 

[BluesRunTheGame]

It's like another facet of mental illness: temporarily tricking you into thinking things aren't that bad? I guess in a way it's just more taunting from the demons.

 

[Lilmeowssi]

I love the good days while I am experiencing them but when the bad days come back I get super disappointed and mad at myself.

 

[Bigpink]

I'm too suspicious and aware, so no I don't.

 

[AnniesHideaway]

Thankfully I have no good days.

 

[muffin222]

I wouldn't say so. No emotional state is permanent, so the good days are bound to come from time to time, but they're so infrequent compared to the pain and sorrow that they don't feel worth staying alive for,

 

[skinnystudent]

Unfortunately even on the good days, I feel like dying

Unfortunately even on the good days, I feel like dying

Me too buddy.. Me too ❤️❤️

 

[Mthom2]

I get maybe one decent day a week, and it's just enough to give you a glimpse of hope. Then, back into darkness.

 

[Deleted member 19276]

Yes, it's the vortex of life... No pun!
Honestly, I feel confused mostly nowadays than anything.

 

[Meditation guide]

I have a day or two a month where I don't have pain and can move around better and do a few things. I think to myself finally this is getting better. Maybe I can recover after all. But then the next day I'm back to the usual pain and disability.

 

[NodusTollens]

Oh yeah.
Between the physical pain & constant struggle with my MH- ugh, YUP.

 

[MindFog]

Yeah, can't even enjoy the good days cause I keep bracing myself for something bad to happen. No good thing ever last.

 

[aeon]

No, good days are gone and ok days are few.

YEP -

 

[stygal]

Hell yeah!

Sometimes I numb or distract myself for a time period - successfully it seems at first - but it all comes right back to me eventually.
I can never escape the feeling of having to leave urgently.

 

[issyishere]

Holy shit is that relatable. I had a few good days a week ago but recently had bad days once again. Tbh it’s even worse when you go from a good day to a bad day because it’s that much more jarring.

 

[Deleted member 23885]

yes :)

 

[Sprite_Geist]

Yes. Those "good days" are like a marketing tactic to draw you in; only to realise that the actual product is broken.

 

[Pookie]

I don’t have any good days so no trickery there.

 

[Southwinds]

Yes, I have learned to not trust the good days, They will pass and the shit always comes back The shit ALWAYS WINS. So don't fight it.

 

[neverever]

Yes. Those "good days" are like a marketing tactic to draw you in; only to realise that the actual product is broken.

Exactly!

 

[Throwmyselfaway]

On lord yes. The other day we were having a good day, talking about the future and everything. Then I lay down and I’m like well shit. At least I’m getting good at faking talking about the future. But for a split second I was like oh the future talk sounds good.

 

[justanotherstar]

Yea, my ideation never really changes but kn good days It is harder to plan and carry out plans. I haven’t yet figured out whether this is a useful feature of this one meaningless life we live

 

[Kim Dokja]

There are no "good" days. Only okay, bad, and disastrously terrible.

 

[Teal_Blue_Dreams]

Yes, sometimes the same day. One part of me is convinced things are getting better, just need another day, another week, things are changing. Then by the end of the day I'm back on my ass or worse than I started.

Same. Same. Same!
