Be honest, what's actually holding you back from living your best life?

EBSVC · 41-45, T
Childhood trauma

Insecurity and lack of self-confidence

Memories of my parents talking how much of a worthless piece of garbage I am and how much they wish they had a child other than me and how my birth was a cosmic mistake

But at the same time…that forged who I am as a person

And I’m actually pretty awesome
Tumbleweed · F
@EBSVC Omg that's disgusting, I'm so sorry you had to deal with that.
EBSVC · 41-45, T
@Tumbleweed It made me who I am today

But I do think things would have been easier if I didn’t have to deal with that

I don’t know
Tumbleweed · F
@EBSVC But it's a long hard road to where you are that should have been a carefree highway.

Nothing. I'm doing just fine.

Honestly? Past wounds, unresolved grief, AND ongoing anxiety is keeping me stuck in cycles. I WILL get out of it.
A few adjustments along the way, but I like my life. I don't need much, improvements are hopefully ongoing, so I don't have any lofty goals. My best life is my son feeling safe and happy.
Inability to alter my internal monologue. Or maybe just refusal to, I’m not even sure anymore. Along with a lack of belief in my ability to effect change.

Right now, funds. I'm on a tight budget that doesn't allow for gym membership or I'd be complete in my happiness.
AngelUnforgiven · 51-55, F
If I truly state what's on my mind I'm going to make some enemies.
Tumbleweed · F
@AngelUnforgiven Girl, I do it all the time. And my thing is, if they can't handle the truth, they're not worth worrying about.

Lack of money
Simulation · 36-40
I need to quit my job but also somehow pay rent, food, gas, and car repairs.

Then I can book lots of trips to the mountains, the waterfalls, and that one park my friend recommended months ago but I've been putting off.
My past and its rough details
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
Fear that if I change my life it will be for the worse, that I'll lose good things that I have now and instead of something better coming, it'll only be worse.

Chronic illness, constant chronic pain, and generalized anxiety disorder that has completely taken over at this point.

Insecurities and self-image but I'm working on it.
