Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSWPreviously, proactivity and problem-solving worked perfectly. And today? Everything that worked at one time doesn’t work now. So far, you've been able to keep this a secret (people still come to you with their problems.) Of course they do! You’re the one who creates solid plans and good solutions. Which makes the unraveling of your own life increasingly frustrating.
Certainly, you wish that things were different. Or you strongly suspect that you want things to be different. Equally likely… you aren't sure at all what you want. Perhaps you can't even identify the "things" that need to shift.
And so you find yourself in a repeating dynamic- the more you resolve to change, the more you stay the same – and so do your circumstances and the world around you.
Maybe you’ve stopped admitting that anything in your life is amiss. It is possible that you’ve started to feel self-conscious about your efforts at change. Each failure seems to validate the idea that life will always be problematic.
The thought of talking about the issue might evoke fear and uncertainty. What if it doesn’t work? What if you can never break the cycle?
It might feel very scary to examine these questions; asking the question evokes the possibility that this will always be your life, while avoiding the question can reflect an (often implicit) strategy that things might just resolve. But denial is so exhausting, and requires so much energy.
Imagine if you could spend that energy on strategies and actions that move you towards the life you want. It might feel like a new and uncertain trajectory. Or it might feel a lot like the life you used to have, when you had control and agency.
