Are you overwhelmed?

I spend a great deal of time thinking about past pains, mistakes, and problems

I get anxious worrying about possible future pains, mistakes, and problems

I isolate myself from other people to avoid distressing situations

I make myself feel numb with substances (alcohol, pot, other prescription/recreational drugs)

I take my feelings out on other people by getting angry at them or trying to control them

I engage in dangerous behaviors , such as cutting, hitting, picking at, or burning myself or pulling out my own hair

I engage in unsafe sexual activities, such as having sex with strangers or having frequent unprotected sex.

I avoid dealing with the causes of my problems, such as an abusive or dysfunctional relationship

I use food to punish or control myself by eating too much, not at all, or throwing up what I eat

I have attempted suicide or engage in high-risk activities, like reckless driving, or taking dangerous amounts of substances such as alcohol or drugs

I avoid pleasant activities, such as social events and exercise, maybe because I think I don't deserve to feel better

I have surrendered to my pain and resign myself to living a miserable and unfulfilling life.
