Using this website is a form of self-sabotage
I had a breakdown on Tuesday that led to me posting obsessively on this site- because instead of moving on and doing what I needed to do in my life, of course I found a way to further sabotage myself. I deluded myself into thinking this was a productive use of my time. I felt a momentary thrill with each response and each heart and I got addicted to the feeling and I've been using 7cups more and more since Tuesday and now it's Saturday and I spent all morning and parts of my afternoon and now I'm back again on this website because I was craving the attention and the idea that other people needed me and I needed the validation and that sense of purpose and now...my family is screaming at the TV screen at some football game and it's jarring my nerves. I'm drinking again. I had a to do list and the things that are most meaningful to me- they didn't get done. I've been sitting in this chair most of the day. I wake up each day thinking that today will be different but then it never is. I want to shove a knife through my eye and be done with all this. This isn't therapy, this is just social media dressed in corporate positive affirmations and ***. Everyone here is pathetic.
@determinedSea4370 7 Cups is far from perfect. You can call me pathetic. But other folks might take that to heart. Blasting folks who are trying to help is maybe not wise. Alcohol can make people a bit foolish. No one here made you foolish.
