I understand things that were really like in another universe feeling distant. I also believe that it's as we get more well, that we really see how ill we have been at the lowest points. Perhaps our preoccupations with those times as we become more well is in part fear that it could happen again. It's difficult when those in our treatment teams haven't seen how tough it can be for us - for a long time, my GP hadn't, and even now she does rarely, just because of how the appointments are arranged. It can make it hard, because it feels like they don't believe us, in a way. But remember that it's on your medical records, and she can contact others in your team for verification.
