Every now and then I'll read some self help articles or watch a video to help overcome my issues. Then I get too overwhelmed, figure it won't help anyway and then resolve to CTB, then once I say I will CTB I feel a lot better.

Do you think it's because you get frustrated at how hard it is to overcome your issues and it's much easier to have an escape?

Yeah, I think that's the reason. I have OCD, so exposure therapy is really scary.

I completely understand. I hope some day you'll be able to overcome these issues, and I'm sorry it's made your life so unbearable. I'm rooting for you!

I looked at/tried so many recovery options and nothing seems to work. I really do want to recover, but idk if I can

feel very similar. especially since there's so much to unpack and work on through my issues, it gets tiring being constanly reminded.

I feel the same, even if I want to recover I don't have the energy to implement all the necessary changes. And I just feel hopeless
