What's YOUR secret, guilty habit that makes you miserable but cant quite seem to stop? (PG-13 replies ONLY!!!)

There are times in a person's life where they pause and look at what they are doing and think, "ooooooh.... so THAT'S why I'm not getting better". Then the moment passes and you go right back to the unhealthy habit you weren't aware you had in the first place.

For example, years after my divorce I came into possession of my ex husband's love letters to the woman he was cheating on me with. It doesnt hurt me so badly anymore but every time I read them I know I'm only adding more bricks and filling in cracks to the wall I built years ago inside me to keep people away. If I keep this up I'm going to end up with a moat filled with sharks with laser beams attached to their foreheads and then NO ONE will ever know me.

At the moment I am feeling physically unwell so I’ve been googling symptoms which has definitely made me worse as now I think I have a neuro disease that’s going to kill me. :(

Actually, to be fair, I only knew I had a stroke and autoimmune disease from using google. Google found out in five minutes what it took doctors to find out in five months. Should probably get it looked at honestly.

You're so funny! 😂😂 I love it!

My secret guilty pleasure is Reality Tv..lol

BUT I did get caught up with an addiction last year that caught up to and affected my life. I was addicted to tarot cards. Yes tarot. It may be funny to some but it truly was a problem. It was not good. I finally stopped. I had to. It was affecting me and my life. It took me awhile but I finally stopped.
