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 feels like a battle sometimes. The older I get the more negative thoughts seem to arrive.

    I overthink a lot because I know sometimes things go wrong so at least I am prepared. I am trying not to think of the possibility of things going wrong when I do the simplest thing. I try to remember to feel gratitude when I return home and nothing went wrong.

    When I go for a walk I enjoy listening to birds, but often find myself also noticing negative things like people running car engines while stationary and it annoys me.

    The worst time is in bed especially when I am tired already. 

    I wish I could stop thinking about many things that don't need thinking about. I wish I could be more positive. As a Christian I try to counteract the negativity with positive verses of scripture. 

    I do wonder sometimes what it would be like to be someone who finds the positive in lots of things.
