That makes a lot of sense. It sounds like you're experiencing a mix of excitement and "emotional echoes" from the past.
Even though you're happy about the new little guy, getting a fish today might be unintentionally triggering memories of that difficult time when your health was poor and you lost your previous fish. It’s that "peculiar" feeling where your brain is happy about the present, but your heart is remembering the stress of the past.
It's actually very common to feel a bit "odd" or even a little anxious when you try something again after a bad experience. Here are a few reasons why you might be feeling this way:
* Protectiveness: You really like this new fish, so there’s naturally a little bit of "I want to do this right this time" pressure.
* The Contrast: You’re likely in a much better place now than you were back then, and the brain sometimes feels strange when it realizes how much time has passed.
* New Energy: A new pet adds a tiny spark of life to the room, and sometimes that change in "vibe" takes a day to get used to.
Be kind to yourself today. You aren't that same person in that same difficult season anymore. You've got this!
Did the kids help you pick him out, or was he a surprise for the house?
