Do you ever feel guilty for having a good day?

[Gizmo]

Do you ever have a really good day despite struggling with your mental health, but find yourself worrying that it won't last? Sometimes it feels like you can't fully enjoy the good moments because you're waiting for things to go downhill again.

Has anyone else ever felt like this?

Sometimes people feel guilty about having a good day while someone they care about is struggling, or during a period when life has been difficult. They may feel they don’t deserve happiness or worry that enjoying themselves means forgetting their problems. But a good day doesn’t cancel out past pain, and feeling better isn’t a betrayal of anyone. Thankfully, I don't feel guilty about having a good day.
