I know I should go through therapy to achieve a real change but don't want to at the same time.

I wish for you to get better soon too. I guess my thought is.. imagine yourself nearly 40... with a girl that has it together and cares about you sitting there.. wishing that you loved yourself enough to be capable of loving her. Imagine reaching a point in your life that you wished you would have had a meaningful loving relationship, but it wasn’t an option because you hadn’t done the work. And it slips away. Now imagine that in every aspect of your life. You spend your whole life watching everything meaningful slip away because you hadn’t done the work for you. The job opportunities you might lose, the friendships that will suffer, your potential children that could suffer, any endeavor imagined... what if... you could have been ready if only you decided to put in the work.. for you. Do you think you’ll regret doing the work? Or do you think you’ll regret everything good passing you by?
