When Challenges Happen
Desperation
"I want to feel OK/normal/special/different/nothing!"
Desperation is more of a symptom rather than a cause when it comes to dealing with unwanted habits and I include it here so that when outside pressures and/or temptations are particularly intense it may help to have a place to start re-establishing control. When feelings are strong we need some way to understand what may be going on and what we can do about it.
There are several self-care categories that may be worth exploring to try to find out what is actually going on, to find out what is driving the strong feelings. 'Depression', 'Compulsion', 'Bingeing', and 'General Anxiety' are worth checking out.
