What do you do when your only source of happiness is also your greatest pain?
Real question. What do you do when your only source of happiness is also your greatest pain?
And nothing else makes who happy no matter how many hobbies or new friends you make, not even old stuff that used to make you happy.
I can only feel good about my life and the things that used to make me happy if things aren't painful with that one thing. If they are it greatly affects my life. I easily fall apart. I used to fall apart more easily but every time I acquire more resilience something happens that worse that makes me even more upset. Most recently all I did for about a week has been eat a little, go to work, sleep and play animal crossing.
Sorry about the vagueness I feel I need to be.

I am so sorry that you are going through this and that no one has responded to you until now. Not sure what the pain is but it would be easier to help with more information so if you would like to connect and send me a 1;1 message I would love to help you out.

It's a tough thing... Sorry you're going through this. I'm aware that painful things are some source of consolation, esp. in mood disorders, I've experienced something like this myself.
I'd answer myself a question in such case: Is the thing I love destructive, harmful or toxic? (to myself/my closest ones) and: Am I willing to implement some changes in my life?
And, as always, I'd encourage you to talk to a professional (a psychologist, doctor, therapist, psychiatrist, counsellor, etc.) because they will be able to explain the mechanisms behind your behaviours and choices and give you a new perspective.
All the best!
