catharsis_logs | Tired of being traumatized (Reply)

There are a series of things I want to go through with a therapist, or find books for. How to feel less afraid or anxious all the time. How to handle stress and being overwhelmed better. How to find things important- like with deadlines, I can meet deadlines posed by other people who I care about how they think of me like: professors or (eventual) employers but not for some reason: myself. How to keep a schedule. How to not be afraid of big time/long term commitments: long video games, writing long (fan)fiction. How to be long-term friends with people. What's polite to do in society and not apparently? How to help me understand people and their motivations. How to handle poor emotional object permanence (a problem with the long-term friendship thing, specifically RL friendships but I have been known to accidentally ghost online folk too). I'm sure there are more, but the ones I've listed so far are the really important ones for right now because all of them affect my life in one way or another, and all of them are causing difficulty for me and living my life as well. There's more I want to say, but I've abruptly lost the energy to talk about them. Maybe more later.
