Shooting myself in the foot

4 Replies

I haven't been following through with my plans. I slept in today instead of going to two job interviews that might have been better jobs for me. I did the same thing last Sunday instead of going to church, I just slept in again. When I get up I regret that I didn't follow through. I have to somehow get out of this slump and start doing the things I need to do to feel like I am living life.

It is so easy for us to get "stuck" (literally, and figuratively). I do the same things, and did the same thing for years... which was a lot of avoiding.

I know it seems hard right now, but just remember that you are a valuable, good person. Those who care about you will understand, and those who do not understand can bug off. Sometimes our mind does not allow us to do things, and that is ok. For a while. Therapy can help, and medication, but I think that doing something outside your comfort zone (in increments) can help immensely. Like taking a walk one day. Go to a store one day. Get in the routine of doing things. Just don't allow yourself to give up.
