I'm sad during good things.

ive noticed that something good is about to happen i get really sad because all i can think about is that it will be over. for example, in 2 days im going to maine, which will be really fun, but i cant stop thinking about it ending before i know it and me getting really sad about it. or lets say im going to the moon, (which quite possibly would be the best thing that could possibly happen to anyone) all i would be able to think about during planning, the trip there, and when im actually on the moon is that it will all come to an end. another example is this coming ski season. im looking forward to it soooo much, but i again cant imagine it ending, and what i will do then. (although this is a less extreme example because i realize i have many, many more ski seasons to come)
so no matter whats going on thats good, (excluding good things that will happen to me so many times that i grow accustomed to them) i cant feel any optimism or happiness about it. it really sucks.
so if any of you guys have or have had this problem, let me know of ways to make myself be happy about stuff, or ways to block the feelings of doom.

i used to be kind of sad on like friday night cuz i always figured sundway would be a waste for some reason. but you just have to look forward to it and enjoy it as much as you can. and then when its over just remember how much fun you had.

Nihilism (from the Latin nihil, nothing) is a philosophical position which argues that the world, especially past and current human existence, is without objective meaning, purpose, comprehensible truth, or essential value.-- from wiki
my issue is more concerning the future than the present, and has nothing to do with the past.

nihilism and pessimism are slightly different...
nihilists just believe that everything is insignificant, be it good or bad.

well i guess the only advice i can really give you is to try and think positive, or be happy about remembering it becuase you had such a good time...i dunno man, i sometimes feel like that (bad family situation.)

i dont think drugs would work. they would have to stop me from thinking a specific thought, which wouldnt be possible. i think if im going to get out of this ill have to alter my mindset somehow.

to a certain extent everyone has that problem. Nobody likes Sunday nights as much as Saturday mornings. You've gotta make a conscious decision to not think about it. Remember that life is full of good things. After a cool event, you're to bigger and better things!

i would hardly call you a nihalist, it sounds as if you do get enjoyment out of life in some sense
your just someone who hates good things to end... pretty much like everyone else, you just tend to bitch about it more than most

dude i think you're the Buddha's re-incarnation. basically he spent his whole life discovering that everythings impermanent, nothing lasts...then he died. joyous much?
but at least this applies to bad times- they're going to end. and then, roll on the good times.

did you just realized that everything in life and life itself is temporary? also what do you think makes those exciting things exciting? its because you dont do them all the time or everday. there better than the normal things because you arent fuckin sick of it (whatever it may be)

I use to be like this too but I eventually got over it. You can't help that things are going to end. Just forgot about time and make the most of the present

you should just think to live more in the moment and try to do something fun each day and when you think of it ending think of how much fun you had a keep the memories but also think that with the end of one thing brings opportunities of new things and more fun.

aaahahahahah emo sloth.
anyway, cheer up. you gotta look at it like this: it's going to end, so make it as fun as possible while you're in it so that when it's over, you can remember what has just happened and look forward to it happening again!
