My thought process; a thread
The problem: I'm exhausted physically and mentally because of stress. I am unable to care for myself, and just think of others. I'm living a double life, dedicating both of them to others. I'm not happy with my life right now.
Step one: How to release stress? I know music helps, but right now my stress is related to the music world. I have one artist who is not related to anything in my life, so I can listen to them.
Step two: How can I ensure that this is not going to happen again? I need to take breaks. I need to be asking for help, not only giving help to others. I need to set boundaries to my life so I'm not blaming myself. I need to put myself first.
Last steps: trigger warning , tw , self-harm , self harm
Crying it out always helps, but the stress leaves and I feel empty afterwards. Feeling empty is bad, because I might start thinking about self harm. Watching horror movies helps with emptiness but leaves traumas.

Last step (end of thread): I will be okay. By acknowledging these problems I can work on them and get through this. This is only temporary. Music always helps. I'm needed. I'm just working too hard to please others. I will be okay.
