I make the mistake of believing in people, and thinking they are being honest.

Each time, its a painful lesson.

When it happens I take a backwards step, stop meeting and just browse the forums.

I keep posting without proof reading and I have no idea how to break that cycle. It involves self discipline which I don't have in that respect.

I guess self discipline is required to break any cycle

An old acquaintance of mine repeated the same circle of issues with her partner for years. They had issues with each other which they repeated the same things in an attempt to solve them. Eventually she left him...cycle broken

So my site input ends up being a quick scan of the forums, a quick flick through the hot pics and then block a few locals

I don't actually 'swing' any longer

I guess my time here can be compared to a smoker who then goes on to vape but doesn't actually kick the habit altogether

Cos that's all it is, a habit with a sprinkling of FOMO

The mistakes I usually make stem from old mindset and patterns that can sometimes resurface with old wounds. Sometimes the only way to break the cycle is through personal growth but other times its just being human so I allow myself a little grace when it happens.

I mean, where do I start!

Eating bad things and getting fatter.

Impulse spending for a dopamine hit.

Not being organised.

Self doubt and negative self talk that then leads to a spiral.

Being too afraid to ask for what I need, want or say how I feel because deep down I don't believe I'm worthy.

Running the bath too hot then adding too much cold!

Accidentally buying M&S Chocolate button shortbread and eating it all on the way home!

I’m a people pleaser and take it to extremes in relationships.

Holding myself to "normal" standards, then feeling inadequate when I don't meet them. I'm getting a lot better at stepping back and recognising it, but often only after a day or two of self-recrimination. Not being able to work full-time is the big one. My particular flavour of autism + parenting + full-time work = burnout. I need to just accept it.

I buy too many clothes (and hats, and jewellery), and books as well which is my worst addiction, even though I know that I don’t have any room for either and I can’t really afford them, and don’t need them anyhow.

I shop for clothes etc. almost entirely in charity shops and pretend that I am not really shopping, but giving to charity, which I don’t really believe but gives me just enough of an excuse to carry on.

Breaking a cycle is really hard work. I had to break one in my early 20s and God was it hard. But you have to work out why you do what you do if you really need to change but a lot of things dont cause you a problem. But seriously if it is you need to dig deep
