@MartinTheFirst ive dealth with social anxiety with alcohol my whole life. Ive stopped drinking completely recently. Thought i was agoraphobic. Im not and worst part i dont even fear people anymore i fear panicking in front of them, so its a cycle. Meaning i have to work on self worth and self love.
@beetlebumdont Sameeee... although ive not dealth with it at all, not even with alcohol. I've just about started dealing with it! We're improvinggg >:3
Yes, although my journey is having many detours, stops, starts, breakdowns, and backward steps. It's discouraging for sure. Sometimes it feels like an ultimate challenge that I am up for; other times I feel hopeless by my inability to get past things that torment me from years ago and how I act today.
At the end of last year, I realized I had stopped caring about myself both mentally and physically. Whether I realized it or not, I let a year of depression get and hold me down and stop me from reaching my goals. I started to review, reshape, and re-commit to my goals... physically, mentally, and spiritually.
I feel like I keep starting over. The journey continues.
You got this brother💪🏼 do you know what caused your codependency and attachment issues in the past?
I take a Lutheran position on psychology it's up to the individual to find himself and repair any damages the same message Luther gave about Christianity.
@Lostpoet thanks. Yeah it’s not a big reveal - reparenting myself. Same old childhood wounds and trauma but I 💯 agree with you. Teaching myself to stay in my frame and - deep breath, respond slowly and not react my experiences “ you got this “ is constant internal mantra. Love your neighbour lie yourself is Jesus strength I adhere to and this book . On your side 🤜🏾🤛🏼
@nonsensiclesnail well part of healing is learning and teaching yourself not to rely on external validation so the self isolating is a way to instill that and loving yourself - that you are anchored grounded, full of peace with or without others. That kind of inner confidence.
