Can anyone identify with this sort of self sabotage?

I seem to self sabotage over the weirdest things.

This weekend being a good example. My DP has arranged a weekend away which I’m looking forward to. My mind is in overdrive. I’m worrying about the house, health, family. Anything to make me so stressed that I can’t enjoy time with DP. I can guarantee by next week I will be fine again.

It’s like whenever anything nice is happening I have to try and ruin it for myself. I don’t know why? Or how to stop? It’s not fair on DP either :(

I do this too. I'm guaranteed to ruin any fun occasion!

Is it anxiety about going away?

I used to do this, but I have learnt not to do it anywhere near as much.

I would suggest getting counselling to find out why you do it.

@WintersunSummersun I can identify with this, I also self sabotage a lot.

My advice is whatever little worries and thoughts are popping into your head to attempt to overshadow your lovely weekend plans... tell those little voices to fuck off and tell yourself that you will enjoy this and you deserve this! x
