guilt trip

I feel guilty. I have bipolar and am I unmedicated. We have been in and out of complete lockdown for 6 months now, and all of my usual outlets have been cut off, my routines have changed. These are things I don't usually cope with. But I am thriving. I’ve lost weight, my skin is clearer, my sex life is better, I'm calmer, more relaxed, my moods have never been more balanced. In a situation I shouldn’t be, I am thriving. My partner ordered us some gym equipment online and has been enforcing strict bedtime routines so we don’t get caught up binge watching Netflix. We are eating better, talking more, I have never felt this loved or supported in my life, and I feel guilty for it. I feel guilty for blossoming in an environment that my friends, family and others are experiencing so much difficultly with.
