I propose a universal language for mental health stuff. It’d be nice for all of us to be able to be like “this is fucking me up and this is why I think that’s happening” and have that make sense to other people.
Step one is making sense of ourselves and recognising what is happening.
Then I’m still stuck on step 0.1- stop calling myself a dickhead 😂
There is no value in blame. Only move further down the spiral.
Try to redirect that energy to making a plan/strategy for moving past what's holding you back.
It works man. Believe me.
Oh I know. Trust me I know. It’s just an artificial of a very old defence mechanism that’s been with me so long and is so ingrained in my mind it’s like a core line of code at this point.
Learning to reassert and rewrite and rewire but yeah this core code shit is tough.
