It's like a switch was flipped...

I recently realized that something about me has changed. I am generally less anxious, and I tend to do things that I need to do without thought or fear (like going to class, going to work, dealing with other daily issues that would've caused me anxiety in the past). I don't know exactly what happened, and I don't think this was necessarily a conscious decision on my part, but I'm glad that I feel this way and am productive most of the time. Has anyone else experienced this?

That's great! Sometime I too have experienced this, with no real idea how and then I revert back and it's almost worse tbh b/c I get to see the other side, how the other side lives then it's gone "Poof" and I am back to my old ways of isolation and horrible self-esteem issues.

I try to enjoy it while it lasts. That's all anyone can do. I have no real consistency, and this causes me to feel depressed a lot. I get sick of the roller-coaster ride.

You know I sometimes have this as well, but it's extremely frustrating to not be able to control it.

It's like any time I put effort in it, have all these positive mantra's going through my head, exercise, and do everything to feel better, it fails, and then sometimes I just wake up and everything seems to be going perfectly okay, good mood and I couldn't care less what people think of me and what my life situation is, ready for whatever challenges await me. I feel probably like how I am supposed to feel. Maybe it has a LOT to do with quality of sleep and eating habits. Moods are such a difficult thing to control for me, and it goes through cycles.
