I have found my normal state so fragile that my inner critic has found its spot and renders me useless. I spend literally days stuck in my own brain. The only way I can get midly out of it is alcohol. Lots of it. It’s shields me but I still get nothing done due to alcohol. I hate this.

Hello, I’m sorry that you are going through this cycle of pain with intrusive thoughts, and alcohol. Alcohol might temporarily relieve you from your anxieties, but at a cost. Are there any potential options for you to seek out support in your area for your mental health, and self medication?

Also, feel free to share more with us if you ever want/need <3

Hey friend, really appreciate what you shared and can relate personally to the cycle of inner critic and escape. I recorded a ~7m video reply here: Video reply: I have found my normal state so fragile | Loom

Also, in the reply, I mention this as a resource if you want a next step: BTS Mentorship Program | HeartSupport
