im learning that i need to control my thoughts. i have a tendency to replay negative memories in my mind ad naseum. it makes me feel vengeful and depressed. i also need more will power and discipline. ive been drinking more than usual lately. not alot, just a bottle of fruit soju a night (16 percent). i dont get drunk or tipsy but it feels like a habit. im angry that my ex attacked me, and that she took no responsibility for it. we have mutual friends and we live in a community where it would be ez to make me an outcast. its embarrassing publicly and enraging privately. im doing my best to get past vengeful thoughts because i know it wont make me feel better. it will make me feel worse. im angry and i feel justified in my anger. it makes me want to, well do stupid things. my friends have been kind. i would say that i would appreciate an apology from her, but she got a new guy 5 minutes later? how hurtful. well 2 weeks but same thing. it adds to the embarrassment. ive also been feeling insecure cuz i csnt seem to attract anyone. is it me? is it rumors? i cant think about it. ill be ok i hope.

I can get through anything...

Even this funk. Im so tired.

I am not my emotions....and my emotions are not me

I am leqarning to think more positively.

I've had my ups and downs with mental health, and read a lot of literature on the subject. Sometimes you just need a tool that reminds you that you can always pick yourself back up.

@GlenM To terminate toxic relationships if needed and to talk it out if something's wrong or ruining the relationship.

to love myself and realize it's okay to comfort myself and want comfort in life because i'm human. all that matters is that i'm healthy and happy.

Even when it seems that we're stuck, we are always moving towards better days because we have come this far and we are more aware than ever!

think of your support. dont think of the negative.you will be ok.

I feel so happy I can talk to someone
