yes for a man like this

they won't tell you this in therapy but sometimes the best way to stop catastrophizing/anxiety is to interrupt your spiraling with "girl what the hell are you talking about"

“As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say. I just watch what they do.”

— Andrew Carnegie

Sometimes it's hard to move away from pain because it just gets familiar and "comfortable" despite how much it hurts us. And it may also be the only thing that connects us to what brought us pain in the first place (especially if it's a connection/loss). In our subconscious mind, the idea of healing may feel scary: what will be of me without this pain? What will I do? It's true that maybe our pain and "secure/known" current situation helps us think we are safe as per how things are, and we are also saving ourself from the chance of getting hurt in other ways, but is it really worth the amount of mental and physical hurt it brings to our present and future self? I hope you find ways to bring yourself compassion and find the strength to move on from that, even if it feels scary to leave a "comfort zone" for a totally unknown one. You'll find a new way to balance yourself in it and find a new safety in it too, I promise. It won't be bad. You deserve to feel good and at peace. And to heal.

i think I like to just sit and drink coffee while reading
