My last post was mean. I'm sorry.
My stress-levels have been high recently. Not just because acads or thesis. Far too many things are going on all at once.
So I ask for your understanding and acceptance. Deleted the post.

Frustrated.
It is the overall frustration that you are not where you are happy. That you have not been happy at all for the longest time. It is the frustration with the self.

Passive Agression Toward the Self →
psychotherapy:
via Psychology Today:
Are you—unawares—a mental and emotional masochist?
In self-sabotage you “act out” internal conflicts by first moving toward a goal—then retreating from it. “I can do it” is offset by “I can’t do it.” “I want it” is overridden by “No, I don’t want it.” “I deserve it” countermanded by “I don’t deserve it.” The net result of such an ambivalent—or...
And the curt truth is that, in a deep secret way, the state of being loved is...
