Yes, I think we all have a similar feeling to an extant.
It seems like we humans have a rollercoaster of feelings, the problem is when we stay down in the dumps too long.
I don't think we can retain our optimism too long, generally, unless you train your brain into being a bit more optimistic.
One way: acknowledging your sad/pessimistic/unwanted thoughts internally (or externally) and then letting them go.
So:
1: sad thought, 2: acknowlede the sad thought 3: then let it go 4: .... 5: profit
Takes time and patience.
