Can you FEEL BAD when YOU THINK GOOD?

Maybe I should've (oops - bad word) posted this in Lesson 3, but I'm wondering if you could feel bad (or even worse) when you're in a good mood.

For example, can you be laughing and thinking positive, and then all of a sudden feel worse? As if maybe you became more aware of your body and its symptoms?

For me, I tried being happy, staying in a light, positive, fun mood. But I get these frequent attacks of fatigue and non-stop brain fog. It's really frustrating.

Any thoughts?

Hi I'm new here and didn't go through the program but I learned skills in my cbt group that taught me how to pull out a piece of paper and a pen and counter the thoughts that make me feel bad in a tea form and usually once I do I feel a lot better. They help me catch the errors in thought like shoulding etc and get me back into the moment and out of my emotional head.

To the original poster...

Why did you name yourself 'shiksa'? Do you know that's a sexist term used by prejudiced jews when referring to non-jewish women?
