> I'm not depressed. YAY!!!!
I'm not anxious. YAY!!!!
I have some energy YAY!!!!,
although haven't figured out a direction to point it in.
Just having it is enough.
I haven't cried for 4 days, a record for me these past several years (!). YAY!!!!

I think this deserves a quick Pasadoble :-)

> I'm so distrustful of this feeling. It's a bit like hypomania, except I'm not angry - I'm always angry while hypomanic. While I'm not at peace, I don't feel like I'm trying to battle myself into happiness or a sense of calm. It's just there, where I am, right now.

And the trick is not to think yourself out of relative okayness - something I'm really truly excellent at. The distrust comes from this feeling not being *normal* for you. I know for me that recognising that I'm feeling content can really upset my applecart - how stupid is that. Like the Beatles sang "Let it Be".

> It's very strange. I like it. There's much less preoccupation with how I'm feeling and that is a real freedom.

It is and I'm glad and very happy for you my friend. You've worked so very hard for this.
