What unhealthy habits destroyed your life?

[Journeytoletgo]

For me it was porn, masturbation, antidepressants, YouTube, video games, and alcohol

 

[rationaltake]

Sugar, chocolate, biscuits, cakes.

 

[Nightmare Painting]

My life was already destroyed, but drowning myself in video games and TV were the only ways I had to cope with being traumatized. I'd say my parents destroyed my life, everything else was just a coping mechanism to tolerate all of the numbness and pain.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

My life was destroyed by my habit for falling in love with people I don't deserve, multiple times. To be clear, none of them did anything wrong. I'm the terrible person for thinking I deserve romantic happiness in spite of who I am.

 

[Niirvana]

Smoking cannabis since adolescence

 

[FuneralCry]

My life has always been destroyed and nothing could have been done to prevent that. I was perfectly fine not existing until I was forced to live. Life itself is the problem as it is the cause of all my suffering. I have always had the habit of getting stressed and upset easily and letting things bother me. That has made my life more painful. I try to tell myself that everything is meaningless as we will all die eventually, but even that often doesn't make me feel better.

Drugs, all kinds, smoking and drinking, junk food, etc.

 

[Fadeawaaaay]

Maybe booze. But people pleasing, anxiety, neglect and trauma were my downfall.

 

[downndone2]

Manic rage after neuro issues and med withdrawal.. Really made an ass out of myself. I lost the love of my life, lost most my friends, spent most my life savings in 6 months, lost my business, among other things. Have

 

[CommitSudoku]

Trying to fix myself through other people. Alcohol but only for the last few years. Being a people-pleaser. Then depression, but I'm not sure that counts as a habit or not, just happened.

 

[Cosmic dust]

The real issue was abusing of defense mechanisms, like denial, repression and others.

 

[Sakura94]

All my attempts to be slightly attractive/pretty has led to health repercussions.

 

[LeavingEarly]

Smoking weed ruined my life in many ways as well. I had underlying schitzophrenia which weed brought out.

Alcohol and over analyzing

 

[SuicidallyCurious]

Pussy addict

 

[markimobzzdeasui]

Eating disorder, masturbation and porn since past 3-4 years. But I honestly don't know what could have I done differently back then with that kind of knowledge when so many traumas and abuses and total shit things were happening in my life on a daily basis. Many times when I read about trauma and cptsd, I realise that if those addictions weren't there at that time, I could have become something much much worse. But still it doesn't help a bit knowing how these faulty defense mechanisms turned to addictions and are now just another reason for my life to become what it is now.

[befree]

Living in the wrong world.

 

[onlyanimalsaregood]

Being genuine

 

[ultrafuntimes]

Avoidance and defining any and all self-worth on what other people think of me.
My life is already destroyed, but the compulsive redosing as of late isn't doing me any favors either.

 

[deathbydragon]

Trying to assimilate into a world that is fundamentally designed against people like me.

Sorry, I was calling out myself more than anything.

 

[Insomniac]

Sorry, I was calling out myself more than anything.

I know..

 

[CandyCane]

Psychiatry and my unwavering belief in mental healthcare destroyed my health. I also used to smoke but quit successfully without any long-term issues it seems. I also think I was too forgiving of abusive people for awhile because I was raised in a situation that forced me to reconcile repeatedly with abusers, which kind of normalized it.

 

[demuic]

Breathing.
