Thank you, shar, I found your post really validating. It's exactly true that when I'm feeling better I certainly never miss feeling bad. But when I'm not feeling as good as I want to feel, I feel like I've failed (as if it's all my fault).
My therapist has suggested I don't think I deserve to be happy. Whether that's true or not, usually such thoughts just add a load of guilt on top of the already less than happy state.
