What's stopping you from moving ahead in life ?

Things were all going so well for me. Everything was going amazingly. I was the most confident, fearless, happy, healthy, optimistic individual. The world was my damned oyster.

Then extreme tragedy struck. And now here I am a year later, riddled with anxiety, despair, and health issues as a result of trauma. For every step forward I take, it's another 2 steps back. Every progress I make in my trauma-related health issues, another health issue pops up. I have lost all zest and ambition to pursue my artistic goals. I thought I was on the cusp of having children, but then the tragedy struck, and now I feel like I can't possibly have children any time soon as I am too fucked up and traumatized.

It fucking sucks. I literally felt like, exactly this time last year, I was at the highest point of my life, and like everything I wanted was just about to happen, and now I can't think about the future, and now I am just surviving my life, and not succeeding at it.

Fucking sucks.

Gave up weed, nicotine and alcohol, made it to 90 days! People really don’t seem to like me. I’d like to know why. How do you date after addiction? Do I need therapy first? How to love myself after a breakup? How do you come to terms with knowing you’ll never have the family you want? Self improvement and academia Finally figured out why everyone swears by exercise for mental health, I feel so silly now. But is it right? Liking bitter vegetables too. (For context, this is a continuation, not a start. I have already made difficult changes. If you are only starting, that is fine too! I am not just humble-bragging, because my posts definitely looked like baby steps, a few years ago)! What are some common causes that make people super reactive? I'd like to stop but need to find out why I'm like this in the first place. I want to be a good lover. Desperately need to get over driving anxiety. Any help? Feel like a spiralling young adult, any advice? Kind of tired trying to set myself on a good track of (health) success. Sometimes I feel like I’m always trying to start over. Tips? Much less than what i was earning before, but less than a month after getting fired , thankful to have landed a 45k 9-5 job with full benefits in my field that is close to home/WFH 2X a wk. Getting my first apartment too & gonna continue studying to be a doctor. 28F I quit smoking weed and this is what happened.
