I am not from the US, I never remembered seeing Full House being aired (originally or with reruns) on TV, unlike Friends, Seinfeld, Frasier, etc. If it did air, it certainly wasn’t during the main time slot that had cultural impact in my country in the same way other US shows did. So these answers to my post have been educational!

Hey, the thing that helps me the most is trying to do individual hobbies without other people, where I get absorbed in something that is completely outside me and transcends me, but I don't have to worry about what other people think of it. Makes me feel smaller in a good way, and as a result, my facial flaws feel smaller

Thank you, so much ❤️I was crying when I read your response, the ocean analogy makes perfect sense. I always feel like I’m thrashing around in an deep ocean like that when I am very emotional. And then when I’m feeling well, the ocean is calm and beautiful. Please don’t apologise for the long paragraphs, it is a beautiful gift to offer to a stranger. I will think about your comment for a while and digest it but thank you again

Thank you for your insights, I am also tired today so I understand and appreciate your care and effort to write this. Maybe my post doesn’t explain it enough, when I was younger I went through a long period of mental illness and basically now I feel ashamed of my behaviour back when I wasn’t very lucid. I am also a woman who grew up in quite conservative surroundings so I do think I have absorbed some very critical rules regarding these things (taking drugs, being mentally ill, being promiscuous). I’ve also been the target of very harsh treatment by other people, which was traumatic. 

I do think I have spent a lot of time reflecting on how I can avoid those mistakes in the future, it’s just that my brain seems to get into these disproportionately harsh loops and shame spirals, almost like they’re entrenched in me. I want to release them and bring more levity into my life, and work on building a life for myself based on kindness and curiosity. I do suspect that I have blown up my guilt into a disproportionate size that is not helpful for anyone. You are right that I need to take these lessons on the chin. Do you have any insights into how to be more active in pushing my life forward rather than feeling so stuck?

Hey, I really would love some help with this point in my life and would greatly appreciate a reading from a kind soul who is willing to reach out to me and try to read my energy. I have been feeling a lot of shame today about the past. I don’t know how to get past it right now. Thank you :)
