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.

@WillaKissing this might sound simple but honestly this is a good idea 😭

@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!
