That feeling again

I’m getting that feeling again where I know I worked really hard to get myself out of a bad mental state and stopped doing things that were bad for me but I want to go back I want to do those bad things again, I feel that I can’t look at certain objects or they will make me think of a relapse, to the point is does anyone know how to cope with this feeling? Like genuinely not in a crisis or anything I just have this feeling now and then and I don’t know what to do with myself

For me I make a change in my whole day and surroundings or activities. Walking away from certain places or stimuli or people helps greatly.

@Yourdarlingstar I do it all the time. Yesterday even I saw my Veterans counselor and left still angry and feeling like reverting to aggression. (27 years in the Army as a career).

So, I came home and cut grass showered and slipped into something satiny and relaxed. It helped then to cut the edge, and today I am happy again.

@Yourdarlingstar You are quite welcome. I come here to support and offer what little knowledge I have from my own experiences to others only hoping to help them in their lives.

Also to post funny life experiences memes and to laugh. Laughter cures a lot even if it is laughing at ourselves and our past experiences.

Creative thinking and my Willa side too!

Try to change your surroundings to something that doesn't make your mind go there. Hobbies and activities help. Good luck!

Find a like-minded understanding person in the same situation as yourself.

Remember why you did the work in the first place?

@kodiac yeah I do but sometimes it feels like it wasn’t worth it I guess but I don’t want to wallow in my own misery so I feel that this is helpful
