Seriously though, break your bad habits, don't do things that make you feel ed up.
Trust me. Every 6 months or so I somehow find myself back where I started with something that makes me really pretty much hate myself. I want out of this cycle so ing bad, two and a half years of this have left me ing stunted. Every time I think I've made it out it comes back. |

Yea this does work... Was on cloud 9 tonight, even though the headliner DJ wasn't great, but it was some seriously nice percussive techno with dark as basslines.
Course the 15 minute walk home made me sober up and I depressed myself out by the time I got home.
Conclusion: need stronger drugs. |

I think your problem Nou, is you've never had real problems. Going through tough makes most people more emotionally resilient and develops their self efficacy. How do you know your limits, what you can cope with, and what you can be proud of yourself for if you've never really been pushed that far? It also gives you perspective on what actually matters and should make you more appreciative/grateful of the present and what you've got.
LIFE LESSSSONSSSS. |

Not everyone can be consoled in the same way. For me personally, I like to be left alone if I'm in a funk, I eventually get over whatever is bugging me if I just stay by myself and reflect on things. If I need to vent, I usually talk to either my husband or a close friend, someone who won't be judgmental and instead offer their support and advice. Sometimes you just need to know someone is there for you.
If you know what your friend's hobbies and interests are, try to arrange something based on what he/she likes.. perhaps a nice outing with friends, a concert, a hike, some kind of physical activity etc.. |

Lol, believe me, I've had real problems. The one I'm talkingabout is rather ppetty in the grand scheme of things, but it doesn't negate the fact that it actually affects my well being despite all rational logic telling me it shouldn't. The fact that external factors plus an inability to voluntarily exclude myself from the situation makes me rather angry at myself. |

| Have you had real problems? Have you ever been homeless, starving, or life-threateningly ill? Ever been in any situation that jeopardized your Well-being, that you had to rely solely on yourself, with NO support to help you through it? |
