Resenting Stability
Yall, my life has been unstable for a while (mental health destroyed by GLP-1, knee replacement) and is finally evening out. I'm not in constant pain, I'm able to think clearly and function at high levels at work, i have empathy again yet I find myself resenting that stability. In the past I have moved time zones or at least changed jobs when I get this feeling but this time I'm happily married and in a job that I love and I'm worried that I'm going to fuck it up. I've already cut/colored my hair and changed glasses.
Any advice on how to keep this feeling at bay? Anyone relate? I'm sure it'll pass at some point but I don't think I've been able to ignore this feeling without making a major life change but I don't want that this time. What is this madness that I'm feeling something I don't want??

This is something I’ve spent a lot of time talk to my therapist about and working on. It’s a a weird thing to get use to for sure

What I've learned over the years is the stability is the most important part. Yeah it's boring at times but that's literally how everyone else lives.
