I think that feeling of happines and joy may scare us, and that we can have a reaction of feeling depressed after we had an experience that we've really enjoyed. I also think it can be other things too. I think sometimes it's important not to get too caught up in examining our feelings all the time.

I know depression is a part of my life, but so is happiness. I'm learning to roll with the punches so to speak. Take the good with the bad. I do have to fight off my depression at times, and sometimes I get so tired of struggling so hard with my emotions. I wonder why is it so hard for me. I know some of the answers, but not all. Having a place to come and talk about my feelings, like here, really helps me. Having people here that will listen, and understand helps alot. Making that connections helps to bring me out of myself.

2Stop, I like what you said about acknowledging, and then gently nudging yourself to move on.

Lilya, you are living my fantasy life right now, so keep reporting on your trip, and have as many fun days as you can.
