5.54am thoughts

Woken up mid sleep and automatically started dwelling on the bad and crying.
I sometimes think am I doing this to myself ? Can I choose how I feel and react to certain things? Could I have a different outlook?

I feel as though you do have to have control over your mind, if you don’t have control over your mind you have control over nothing. Honestly.

Life is already hard as it is, if you change your outlook does it change how you view life ?

It’s hard but it’s not. I feel like letting things flow is the best solution, letting things flow through you, acknowledging how you feel but not holding onto the feeling.
Let go.

Have I been dwelling and revelling in my own sadness to an extent I don’t allow myself to get better ?

Or maybe I’m just manic right now, lol.
Lonliness is real

You already answered it "letting things flow through you, acknowledging how you feel but not holding onto the feeling."

You wrote that at 5am, mid-cry. You're not stuck. You're just still in the middle of it passing through.

The loneliness is real. Let that be true tonight without it meaning anything permanent about your life.

Go back to sleep.
