definitely, its almost like i feel better at my worst than being happier ya know? so i tend to cause myself to fall back into everything, even though it hurts
Ooh ooh I know this one because it was me for years. I used to do bad things as a coping mechanism and I lied to myself so I could keep doing them. You can stop, society really makes us make excuses. My best advice..... Just Stop
this is great advice, I've been really practicing holding myself accountable for my feelings and the things I do to make them worse and its definitely helping slowly!
Man me too like the people I’m around the places I go and other stuff your definitely not alone. But so sorry your also struggling you got this tho! ps im proud of you:)
I don't think I've truly gotten over my mom's death, and that was almost 3 1/2 yrs ago. I'm angry with her for continuing to smoke even after watching her her own mom died from smoking. So I'm tucking those emotions away because I don't want to deal with them.
I feel like this constantly. I have the want to get better. I’m around people who will help me. But I have the constant urge to ruin that. To runaway. Maybe I’m scared? I also have everything I need now to get a therapist but im just scared. So I get this feeling in a way.
all. the. time. i quit therapy because i didn’t put the work in between the sessions. i want to get better, of course, i want to live a better life and be happier and not empty. but its just so hard. especially when you’ve lived that way for so long
its so hard to describe to someone who hasn’t experienced it, i think. because they’re just like why don’t you put the work in? dont you want to change? and it’s just not that easy
no I 100% get what you mean, its so hard to explain it to other people. What's helped me describe it, to others and myself, is in terms of a performance - putting work into it, changing, ect for the most part to me feels like a performance of being "well", and to have to do that 24/7 is exhausting, even if you want to do those things it wares you down, it's demanding.
