This feeling... As anyone felt this?

Post Reply New Topic

NO, I'm not on drugs/high, on sugar/hyper or anything. Right now, I'm the opposite of depressed or anxious.
I'm not in 'denial'. Nor this 'ignorance is bliss' thing.
I'm not in love, or stimulating. I don't even feel like I'm coping or being patient with anything.
I don't feel any ego-trip or receiving a 'reward'.
Just, complete satisfaction and freedom. (And my only 'restraint' is my own moral code, my own learning, my own wisdom and common sense, not someone else's)
Like something like some storm has 'passed'... But I'm aware that this might not last longer so I might as well enjoy it.

Has anyone here, at least for once, isn't anxious or pressured of anything? As if you feel like an innocent child again. (NO, not 'immature child', 'innocent' like carefree and not worrying, but not ignorant) I'm not escaping anything else. In fact, I would like to confront it myself if there's any. I feel like a really curious child who likes to point and question, and learn many things without thinking any taboos or angry people.

Because right now, I'm simply feel so satisfied and so free... (NO, I did NOT found a so-called 'cure')
I don't feel pressured from people or anxious about the future. I'm still aware of consequences and my responsibilities, but I'm not anxious or pressured about it. I'm still mindful of everything, but I'm not overwhelmed or frustrated.
Imagine you're in a middle of a chaos (in my case, on a 36 C heat with an umbrella, jaywalking across a traffic) without meltdowns, without feeling frustrated but still can cross that road just fine. But you still have mindfulness and focus.



I asked because;
1.There's too many angst-y post. Please don't mistake this as flaunting or optimistic thinking. Even I'm happy, I'm still a shy pessimist who hates bullies and as*holes.
2.I never felt like this. I want to know if someone ever felt this way at least once.

I have felt this way before.

Alita said it well - it feels like a beautiful day.

But, like beautiful days, the feeling doesn't last forever.

Enjoy it while you can, and know it will come again.

You deserve to feel decently. Don't knock the feeling. You don't always have to be in constant crisis

I've felt kinda like that all day every day for the last 1.5 years or so. But it's because I HAVE found an effective treatment protocol (diet, intestinal cleanses, probiotics.) that does keep my negative ASD symptoms well in check and allows me to both utilize and enjoy the positive ones.

Nice post, Edna3362!

Thanks for sharing your uplifting thoughts ...
here are some of my inspirations.

When I'm way out in nature taking photos
and then sitting at the computer making art out of them.
While dancing or
on stage in a masquerade contest at a Star Trek convention ...
basically
when I'm expressing myself creatively.

In the past, when I went horseback riding.
Birdwatching and astronomy are good too
for satisfaction and freedom
and gratitude.
...

How about now--at 47?

I wish I felt like this lol, I don't know if I ever felt like that not that I can remember anyway.

I do feel this way too

Yeah like right now lol. And I'd like for everyone in the entire world to understand. Then there would probably be less wars and people hating each other. We wouldn't feel bad or angry ourselves anymore. But it's temporary

Yes, I have - now and then. Not now, though, - but I hope to get there again, when my present clouds have gone. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for this post. I agree that the negativity on this site can become overwhelming. While this is understandable -- people tend to post when they're having trouble, need to vent or seek out support and I'm as guilty of this as anyone -- it's refreshing to see some attention given to something good for once. I'm not much into false or mindless optimism either; I'd rather realism, and am just glad that reality is not all bad all of the time. Storms tend to grab one's attention through their unpleasantness, but learning to become immersed in the blue skies inbetween rather than always anticipating the next storm (or rehashing the last) is surely more conducive to happiness and peace.

I have felt the feeling. Not nearly as frequently as I wish, but I'm working on it, and appreciate it very much when it comes. As others have already mentioned, enjoy it. It's as temporary as whatever came before, but so is whatever will follow, and hopefully something we can all find at least briefly in the future again.
