Exhausted

Stuck in a cycle where I date bc a significant other would make me happy but failed relationships trigger bipolar mood swings where I want to then start drinking or blazing again to then finally stabilize myself over a month or so to attempt to rinse and repeat… I’m not even attached to these people but my mind plays tricks and convinces me I lost out on a great love. Anyone experience this?

I would say probably most of us have those love :heart: issues. I get it totally :100:

Sounds very familiar. I just stopped trying.

I haven’t dated anyone in over a decade. Sometimes I forget how exhausting it can be.

Yes!!! It’s the fear of rejection. We look to people to make us feel good about ourselves

Yep, dating is exhausting these days, seemed easy back in the day lol..

I identify as well. Only got into dysfunctional relationships when I was drinking
