I’m too tired to clean/tidy. Oh now I’m depressed because it’s too messy.

Life with anxiety and letting go of it. What makes it more complicated is that sometimes I feel like I need my anxiety, it makes me think all the options of action or anything that could go wrong, which in result makes me seem like I have divine intution and just “know things” to other people. I just want to be free and able to live life instead of thinking of it and exhausting myself with my head of 50 different radio channels going on at the same time. At the same time I’m afraid I become less competent if I’m not fueled by fear of failure.
My ability to trust men
It’s so fucking hard for me, for about 1381293819 reasons
I -WANT- To be friends with men, but 99.9% Of the time no matter how I act they always end up acting creepy and “accidently” sending me gross pics or try to get me naked
Not to mention the crazy amount of times I’ve been lied to by them, harassed by them, tricked by them, list goes on and on
Yet I still want to be friends with them, it’s just so fucking hard.
If I should keep seeing this guy (divorcee) i’m having a strong connection with. We both liked each other but when he told me to not put my eggs in one basket, it kinda made me think a lot. Now I’m contemplating if I should end it with him because I am starting to have feelings. Dating is hard and timing has never been nice to me ever since.
Loneliness. Depression. ASD.
Food/weight. It’s been a problem since my teens. I developed an eating disorder. I’m better than I’ve ever been now, but I don’t think I’ll ever be totally fine with my weight or totally comfortable about food.
Common inner battles: procrastination, self-doubt, people-pleasing, emotional reactions, or comfort vs growth. They stick because of old habits and fears. Start small one tiny step each week builds change.
Issues with self-esteem. Both external ( the way I look ) and internal ( my abilities and intelligence ).
I can’t resolve it due to childhood emotional abuse and bullying from my mother, grandmother, father and school peers. It just won’t improve no matter what I do. Therapy, self-improvement missions. Nothing works long term.

Not wanting to do stuff, but constantly wanting others to do the job exactly as I would have done it.
Family issues. I feel guilty for wanting to move out so badly but I feel like the longer I stay here I’m going to end up in the hospital again.
Wanting to date but not wanting to wade through the men who just want sex, or the ones who want “friendship AND intimacy” or the ones “dating with the intent to marry” but want to keep it open. I am contemplating spinstership at this point
Wanting to stay single vs wanting to meet someone. I feel like I flip flop daily on what I want, so I choose the stay single route rather than the try to meet someone route.
I want a relationship but I also really enjoying being single.
Sometimes I envision that I’m meeting the love of my life tomorrow and then I immediately feel sad and bittersweet about giving up the single life. I’m very torn about it.

Thinking I’m ugly, even though I’m married. I shaved my head and gained weight AFTER I got married, so I still have to struggle with worrying if my husband is secretly disgusted with me, and if I technically “uglified” myself after locking down a relationship.
