Afraid of being relaxed !!

[cardcraft]

it will feel odd but its a good odd,if you can get what I mean!
I do feel (and this only a personal opinion) that we try so hard to control everything even though it doesnt feel that way,so actually just feeling 'calm' makes us kind of freak as it just doesnt feel 'normal' and we feel a bit out of control.
Like everything it will take a bit of time to get used to but you will and then it will start to become second nature.

i feel just the same.
i've spent the past few months suffering almost relentlessly with panic attacks and anxiety, so tonight without any of that fear has scared me more than actually having the fear, if that makes sense.
i'm more unsettled with this 'normal' feeling than i am with my usual anxiety, but i'm sure the feelings i know will come back soon, i'm just far too tired to feel right now.
i hope you learn to love the calm with time.
take care

Hi Darkangel

Probably you feel a little insecure, not being on the ready for something happening, with being anxious for so long. You body is relaxed but your mind is still alert and anticipating a flight or fight situation. You need to convince yourself that there's really nothing to worry about

I often feel terrible guilt when I'm relaxed, and that God or some universal force will punish me for enjoying life while there is so much misery and pain elsewhere in the world.
