I am a huge believer in therapy. A good therapist can help you understand why you have problems, how you can anticipate them, how you can avoid them, and what to do with they happen.

So I think that education is the key part of the answer you are looking for.

Hello, I understand your frustration with yourself but getting mad or putting any guilt upon yourself is just going to attach u more and more to upsetting feelings.

I know You might think " why am I not strong enough " and such question is very frustrating but just because You arent doing well now and have been unstable, it doesnt mean You cannot beat whats been dragging You down but first You should understand it all, You know yourself more than anyone, You know what has been dragging You down

Loneliness can be like a push towards a cliff if we dont watch ourselves because we tend to hang on things to try to escape our frustrations and our own sadness because of being so alone

But loneliness doesnt have to be like that. I have no idea what Youve been through but You have potential, we all do, no matter how old we are or how weak we might think of ourselves, We all have great potential, its up to us to find out and use it

If Youd like to share more, feel free
About lying, You could lie to others and pretend around others
but it wouldnt change whats inside You
You may even do such things but the most important is what is happening in your thoughts and in your heart

I hear you, Lacy. I'm tired of being told to be strong. Is there one small thing you can do to make yourself feel slightly better? I'm going to try to find one small thing, so please join me in this if you feel able. Again, I hear you. Take care.
