Yes I know how much this ***** I too am confused about whether I should avoid positive stimulating/exciting things. Of course almost everyone would tell me I am just having anxiety (and I can't say for certain that it's wrong). Some things are overall good, but stressful, like moving, then yes most people have some anxiety about it. But I have it with little things. I think everyone who knows me thinks I am so strange because I don't get excited about many little things, I guess I try to suppress it, so then everyone thinks I am depressed obviously. I am also trying to suppress negative feelings, so there's not a lot left I guess. But they do see me smile about and enjoy a lot of little things too, just not get 'excited' about them much. In the past, if I was too overly 'excited' for more than a day and couldn't stop it, then I did take Xanax, but taking more than one or two very tiny doses makes me actually depressed it seems.
