Managed to stress myself out again, all good now but I went on his profile and saw something which got to me. This is obviously my fear manifested. Enough of that, though, just hinders me more and I wanted to get it off my chest quickly.Β
I preach to others about letting go and detachment yet I can't get out of my own way. For many years I've been working on myself as a person. I had to do things correctly, in order and any blip that'd arise I'd berate myself and run myself down to the extent I would be physically ill. It's no secret either my mental health isn't brilliant but I find myself improving more than more each day. How do you all get out of your own way and feel the need to do it all yourself? I'm aware what I'm doing isn't helpful, I would have had him back by now if I'd stuck to how I dealt with the situation the first time.Β
I don't have to know the answers, I doubt people who've made it big in life even had a concrete plan of action but the goal itself was enough for drive for them. If you knew me outside of this forum you'd know how much progress I've made but the old me still lingers and has to try and apply logic to everything.Β

When I have a bad day, I try to remember all the key points of LoA:
- I have created everything that is in my experience
- my reality is just a reflection of my past thoughts and to take it seriously is kinda stupid
- I'm creating with my thoughts right now, so I better change them
- there isn't an actual other person, but it's just a version of them I have created
- all possible versions of reality already exist and I just have to shift my awareness to it and reality will follow

Don't be so hard on yourself. It's always hard to change old habits completely, especially when we grow up unconsciously with it. Sometimes we need to take a step back before taking 2 steps forward. I'm proud of how much you have improved despite not knowing you very long and I love the support you give to others.
For me, one of the best things I did was stop using social media. Anything that would make me feel nervous or scared I'd stay away from for a little while until my head is 100% without a doubt immersed in the reality I want.
