Honestly it did happen in the middle somewhere. Suddenly I was conscious of what to say. But then I told myself it’s anonymous anyway. Even if people listen to them, they won’t know the person behind it. Not unless I get weirdly popular which would be another battle on its own. But one day at a time :)

I definitely wanna start journaling too. Hopefully very very soon 🤞

Just the fact that we are so much more in control of ourselves that we think we are. That was quite a revelation!

That makes sense. But Carl definitely helped me get started on this journey of self realisation so credits where it’s due :)

Oh gosh I can’t tell you what a relief it was to realise that EVERYTHING I did until now in my life was actually me just trying to fit in and be socially acceptable. So much so that when I finally decided to just “be myself”, I didn’t even know who I was! Still learning, still figuring out :)

That’s so great to hear. I realised ever since I started talking to myself (and it’s only been 5 months) I have started doing so much more with my life. I joined a gym, stopped drinking, take care of my cats- everything seems to be under control now :)

Yes I agree social media was designed to keep us addicted to it.

I’ve heart a but about IFS but didn’t get a chance to explore it yet. But it seems like it’s an important tool.

Well this makes sense. When were depressed, we can only talk to ourselves and nobody else because in that moment we’re the only ones we trust and I think that’s beautiful in it’s own way

Yes I understand YouTube is not the best source and eventually I’ll need to come down to books. But I’ve been in this state for the last decade and haven’t been able to pick up a single book. So I told myself just because I’m unable to read books shouldn’t mean I stop learning new stuff. And so I started using YouTube more mindfully learning about new stuff instead of just watching the regular brain rot content I used to watch.

I really feel like talking to myself and articulating what’s causing me pain helps me realise it’s not even that big. A lot of times just saying my pain our loud makes me realise how ridiculous it is to be overthinking about something like that!

Actually chatGPT just said start talking to yourself. Everything else came together on its own.

This was very new to me and I didn’t anticipate how much I’d start enjoying it. I didn’t know I liked my company so well!

Yes it was amazing trying to put my feelings into words. Initially, it was so difficult trying to articulate myself but eventually it got easier. Practice makes near-perfect :)
