Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- After I’ve blown up or spiraled, I want to walk it backward step by step and find the exact link where the whole thing got set in motion
- I’ve gotten good at seeing how my suffering builds, link by link, but I only ever study how it starts
- I keep telling myself "this is just how I am, I always end up here," like the pattern is some fixed thing built into me
- When something good happens I grip it like it’ll last forever, and when something bad happens I treat it like it’s permanent and says something true about me
- A single bad moment quietly hardens into a verdict about who I am
