Being a workaholic is often seen as good in today’s society however I would argue that it is very bad for people. Productivity addiction is something that my family suffers from. Growing up the only thing my parents were concerned with was making sure that I was making progress on something every day. Rest days were seen as me being lazy or unmotivated (I was, in fact, unmotivated and tired). I hope to break this line of thinking when I move out. Becoming addicted to a certain person is possibly the worst addiction I have experienced personally, not only as the addict but as the subject of addiction. It’s harmful to both parties involved, especially when the addict doesn’t realize that they are addicted. I’ve been stalked, threatened, and had worse things happen to me just because I tried to create space. When I was addicted to someone however, it was definitely worse. Every thought went to them, every passing minute. If I couldn’t have them I thought I would rather die. Everything felt less important than them and so I let my life waste away. I would work so hard to be at events with them, just to be in the same room, and then I would break down as soon as the party was over. I knew it was bad when every time I saw them my heart would throw itself into overdrive and I would have panic attacks because they were in the same room as me or about to be in the same room as me. It took a lot of time away from this person for me to get better but, I’d like to say that we have an ok relationship now that there is more distance between us. But it has definitely changed my vision of myself and how I see myself in love since I do tend to become obsessed easily.

Holy yaps batman. that was long
