Feeling better can sometimes bring an unexpected thought: “Maybe I made it all up.”

But mood improvement doesn’t invalidate what you went through—it highlights how responsive your nervous system is to change.

You were struggling

And you’re feeling a bit lighter now

Neither cancels the other out.

If anything, this is a reminder that change in state is not the same as “proof” of inaccuracy—it’s just change.
