Purging right now (crying), after realizing that I literally can’t relax. I can’t just sit with my thoughts - it’s so discomforting. I resist them, and then get upset that I’m resisting them. It’s so overwhelming. Being sick for the past few days left me stuck in my room, alone with my thoughts and without distractions, which helped me uncover this truth. Feel so relieved now from crying, and so grateful for this sickness because I made this discovery - showing me where I can grow.

Someone once told me one of the best thing you can do for yourself is to cry

@dev nice job turning something like that into something you learn from. Your thoughts also don’t define you and as you see that it should become easier to accept them and just let them pass because all thoughts really do is come and go. If that makes sense I’m highhh rn 😭

@introvert ik I’m not my thoughts, which makes my resistance to my thoughts even more annoying.
