Discussion Have you accepted your 'unhealthy' life/ habits or, are you trying to change them?

[Forever Sleep]

I was reading another thread about fictional crushes and the unhealthy aspect of them, and it got me to realising that many of my habits are unhealthy but, I'm determind to keep them!

I do in fact indulge in fictional crushes/ maladaptive day dreaming. I isolate as much as possible. Asides from working to pay my bills, I do very little to contribute to society. My diet isn't great. I don't bother with exercise. My appearance and living environment I neglect as much as possible.

Maybe the only things I may consider tackling are health concern related- diet, exercise, hygiene because I don't like being ill/ and/or exhausted. But, I don't care really if I have an unhealthy life because I don't want life regardless!

I'm not sure what I would be working towards- if I made myself be social, do more for the community etc. To feel better I suppose ultimately. To feel needed and appreciated. But then- do I even want that? If I'm more keen on dying and leaving it all?

What are your feelings though? Have you identified the things you do that may not be all that healthy? Are you trying to change/ stop them? Do you feel motivated to even?

Quit my job, drink, smoke, sleep at 5 am, eat very little, drink very little. I'm tired of trying and failing. I guess I'm really not giving myself a way out now.

For me I don't see why I should quit things that others see as unhealthy like self harm as I don't see any negatives in it for me due to if its something like cutting I like the scars and I don't cut too deeply and clean them. The pain it gives helps me emotionally regulate. Some people call my current sleep schedule unhealthy which is I sleep a bit during the day and a bit during the night but I find it to necessary so I can do the things that are needed to be done early in the day and also things during midnight. It also makes life more manageable by separating the day into 2 chunks than one continuous thing I have to do.
