I don't think anyone is keeping score although we do worry when people just disappear. Perhaps you can channel some of that energy into one or two short projects so the chance of completion goes up?

What happens when you begin to recognize "happy Dinah" in the room? Does she immediately go away? Or can you sustain the mood? I guess I'm wondering if you begin to anticipate a crash. I heard a therapist say to her client (not me and not mine) - "enjoy the good feeling right now and just know it won't last but it will come back." I took issue with that because it seems to me we should be saying "I know it is hard right now but know it won't last." I didn't want her imposing "reality" on someone's energy and good mood. But what do I know? I haven't been in that fragile "good" place in awhile...

I'm glad you posted.
hugs,
Daisy
