Starting to feel crushed by the weight of the world, riddled with guilt and disappointment in myself over my choices. Nothing I can do about the past though.

What are some of the ways you guys get yourselves out of a bad headspace?

I get myself a nice little treat and take a break. I treat myself like someone else who I'd try to cheer up

But honestly - sounds like you need a lot more than that if you are feeling all tangled up. It's helpful to unwind it all. With friends, with a therapist, even just talking to a stranger on the bus (or the internet)

Sometimes, I'll treat myself to some ice cream. Just thought you should know.

I don't want to trama dump on you but you're right. What's wrong with me doesn't have a simple solution and it only ever ends one way.
