I've always wondered why I stop listening to music and playing video games or even reading when I'm severely depressed. These are things that I know will lift my mood even just a fraction with no consequence. Instead, I turn to binge eating, SH, others will choose drink, drugs, etc. I choose things that make me feel better in the moment but have long lasting bad consequences.
I feel like I don't deserve music and video games. I feel as if I have to earn them by getting my life back on track. Once I'm back in a high earning and high achieving career only then I feel I have earned permission to listen to music. Isn't that weird?
