Wow. This one sentence really drives home how different human experiences can be. Being stuck in a destructive, painful, unproductive loop like this is awful and I'm sorry you're going through it, but wow, a few weeks!? It's jarring to consider the idea that it's not completely normal for this to be one's life for years and years on end.

I misread your message at first, I had thought you were astonished that someone's fallen off the productivity wagon, so to speak, for a few weeks. I've been dealing with similar stuff as the parent poster for probably half of my life, so decades. I feel like an unpatched human being, full of bugs. yes, I talk to a shrink, take the pills, stopped the addicting substance, and still struggle with self-destructive behavior, fleeting relationships, lack of romantic relationships for over 5 years, but other things have improved.
