anxious about feeling better?

[idleman52]

Does anyone ever get anxious when they try to forget a troublesome thought? It's like you feel good for a few seconds because you're trying not to think
about it but you get anxious again when you realize you forgot about it.

you get anxious again when you realize you forgot about it.

Realizing that you forgot about it means you remember the troublesome thought, thus anxiousness. 

But, yes, I know what your talking about.  I have been there, too.

Yes, it often seems to me like I should not forget about it because it's something important so I should really care about it. But forgetting for a time should be a relief. Easier said than done.

Im the same way. If I go too long feeling well, I get nervous and my mind runs back to the anxiety and the cycle starts all over again.

when i can't remember, it feels like my brain looks for it by itself, even if i don't want to remember...
