My unhealthy habit

...See more Hello all, Hope everyone is getting by some way or another. Kinda new to this but I wanted to open up and share about how my depression has lead me to develop an unhealthy habit of lying. Or as I now understand it to be Pathological Lying. I had a rough childhood with an abusive parent and the other not in my life at all. This is where it stems from, I lied to avoid getting into trouble and after success in this it has then stayed with me throughout my life. I lied through school and it cost me my friendship group. I lied through relationships and it meant I never built a close relationship. I lied through jobs and it meant I never gained a feeling of belonging or any satisfaction in the job itself. With all the lies it’s come to a head with my current relationship, and this is what has guided me here. I want to do better and change this habit for good. I don’t want to live a life where I’m constantly stressed and anxious about getting caught out when in a lie. My current partner has been subject to many of my lies and it has almost ended our relationship numerous times, this time being no different I feel. I feel sick to my stomach with everything I have subjected her to, especially since she has been nothing but good to me. So rather than rambling on for a millennium, I hope this is a turning point for me, all my lies have caught up with me and all my skeletons in the closet are laid bare. I hope in this community I find the hope and help that I am looking for. Thanks for reading if you get this far ❤️
