I'm uncomfortable with me?!


Question: I'm uncomfortable with me?
Three years ago I was the most confident, shining, outgoing girl. Then I got on drugs and went through a lot... Now I've been clean for eight months but my self-esteem is still gone. I'm SO nervous around everyone, even with my immediate family that I'm with all day. Three years ago I wasn't a nervous person at all, I could stand in front of a large group of people & flash them & still feel like the shxit!... But now I'm nervous just talking to people, the whole time I'm speaking to someone my mind is racing, thinking about what to say next, then as soon as I speak I repeat what I've said in my head to make sure that it sounded good.
I do that with EVERYthing that I say, and it's so exhausting.. I think constantly, about how much better my life used to be & how I hate myself now... Because of this my mind is foggy all the time,

I'm just SO nervous ALL the time & I don't know what to do, it's killing me.

What should I do? If anyone has been in anything similar to this, please respond. Or share with me what you've done to help yourself.

THANKS

I'm guessing you abused stimulants, as those tend to give an individual a sense of euphoria and invincibility. At this point, you have to try to realize that those feelings weren't based on anything (self-affirming) you were actually doing.

I know, you remember yourself as being confident before the drug abuse, and you want at least that level of confidence back. I suggest you look back at what you were doing back then that gave you confidence, and go back to what has worked for you. The only thing thats really changed is the brain longing for the temporary feeling the drug gave it.



Changes are making in our daily life. We most be intelligent to understand and make the exact correction in right time. Something un/consciously surely happened to you. You are nervous to talk to others because you still think you are the same addictive girl you were. You most forget yourself letting bygone be bygone. Get a kindly boy to be your sexual partner. Do think anymore of the way you were be positive or negative. Be now who you plan to become in the next 5 years.

Basically it sounds like you're having trouble accepting you made a mistake(and most drug users are scared they damaged themselves permanently).

So work on facing that, what happened, happened, and you can't change it now, just be proud you beat your addiction, and keep working on staying clean. And reinforce, you came back, and are a normal person, like everybody else now.

Also, relax, you haven't done irreparable damage to yourself, you can get back that feeling from before the drugs, but you need to relax, and set yourself free from your mistakes, you did it, but then you acknowledged you had a problem, and fixed it. Focus on the fact you won, and focus on you having success, because you earned it.
