Yesterday sucked, last week sucked, last month sucked, last year sucked, the last decade sucked. Nothing in my life has ever worked out.
It do be like that sometimes.
Did you know that it is a survival mechanism to focus on negative things and downplay positive things?
e.g., you have a roof over your head. That worked out!!
Oh, but there's an issue there the roommates suck. Does that mean it's all bust, and nothing worked? No, but your brain thinks it's a good idea to treat it that way.
But it's not 😡 🧠
Sorry you're in this headspace.
So update, it really didn't. I feel kinda insecure over that.
So happy to see you post again! Hope today is a little bit better than yesterday.
