Most of the time, I can’t sleep.
So I take pills.
A lot of the time, I get anxious.
So I try to focus on my breathing
or distract myself
and sometimes I take pills.
A lot of the time I feel like I am in pain.
I don’t want to be “that person” who complains about their pain
I don’t want to take pills
so sometimes I drink.
Most of the time, I am a good person,.
but all of the time. I can’t be fucking perfect.

I hear ya.

No one is perfect. You are a good and valuable person. Keep practicing those other skills – breathing, mindfulness, positive distraction. honesty. Keep writing.

I don’t think good has anything to do with pills or alcohol. Good is honesty, reflection – showing up in pain. Xoxoxo
