Brain not allowing you to be happy

Billy87

Does anyone else feel like their brain doesn't allow them to be happy even when life is actually quite good?


It always feels like my brain is working against me and my worst enemy, does anyone else get that?

It will just see the negative or come up with random anxieties just to keep me in that place

  • It does feel like my brain is my worst enemy, the never-ending noise, plus my conversations with myself. I over think and over analyse also, and definitely work myself up. Sometimes when good things happen it's hard to appreciate it, wondering what will go wrong or how I will mess it up. But also I love being in my own head, with my conversations and playing with my imagination. It's a very complicated and conflicting relationship.

    I can really relate to how you function. I had a meltdown from hell about a year ago, it was the full 4 horsemen of the apocalypse. Since then I’ve been stuck in a burnout, I have no interest in anything. My brain is in conversation with me non stop analysing every event in my life. That’s while music is normally playing in my head as well. My wife believes I turn everything into impending doom. Sleep is only achieved with sleeping pills, they only last for 3 hours and then  Groundhog Day again.
