Pushing myself to be better 23 Jul 2024 19:52 #417601

Hi,
I don't really like typing since I am not the best in conveying myself over text but I am going to push myself and finally introduce myself. What motivated me is seeing username Eerrie post regarding himself so I thought I also introduce myself. 
I am your typical normal frum person, daven 3 times a day, has multiple sederim. I have struggled for about +12 years, on and off, the longest stretch was about 120 days. I have never given up and I have continued fighting since I know that this is a problem that has affected me in multiple aspects of my life such as anxiety/depression/lack of motivation/interpersonal relationships/memory. I usually fall about once a week and this is on a day that I am off from work and therefore not busy or productive. Usually week 2 or 3 are the hardest for me but after I get passed those week what makes me fall is just curiosity or stress. So thats me.

Shalom Brother,
Way to push yourself and write an introduction. Would love to know you better and connect.
If typing is hard, would you prefer speaking over the phone? The oilam here has many special members that would be happy to talk.

The truth is that Eerie is a great person to be inspired from. He is someone that has helped many people on The Journey towards themselves.
Stick around . Read and Write . There is much to gain from being here
May you slide down the banister of happiness and get many splinters of success up your career

A very warm welcome! 

You're a million percent right! It's hard to convey feelings through text, and way to go for pushing yourself to open up.

If you feel up to it, maybe reach out to some folks. Your inspiration, eerie, is a great start. HHM, is chief around town and Muttel is nisht avek tzu machen. 

If not, make yourself at home. You're not alone in this fight, we're all brothers locked in arms. Like you wrote, you haven't given up. DON'T. This is our mission on this planet. We'll make it to freedom TOGETHER! 

ALL THE BEST, 

- Yiftach'l 
Looking forward to get to know you better!
