What kind of questions do you ask yourself about yourself that you really don't have an answer for?
I hate the idea of “issues,” but I guess this is about things you think about yourself that you are really concerned about and have tried to understand, but can’t. This isn’t about therapy, because a lot of therapists don’t care about understanding. They just care about people changing. So if you are an action-oriented person, this isn’t for you. This is for true navel-gazers.
One of my questions that I work on trying to figure out is why I have this tendency to tear myself down. I’ve been over and over it in therapy and somehow it keeps coming back and even though I recognize I’m doing it, I can’t stop it.
I can stop the behavior. When I see myself thinking that, I can keep it from appearing in my speech. What I don’t seem to be able to do is to stop the thought. I think I also forget to just let the thought be, without paying it much attention. It’s a thought that keeps on grabbing me even knowing I should try to let it go. It makes me feel like I want to think that (tear myself down), which raises a whole host of other issues.
I need to go have lunch.

Why do I keep expecting to get blood from a stone?
Why a recent health issue hasn’t alarmed me enough to take my health more seriously and start the much needed diet I’ve needed to start so I can treat my body better. No idea why it’s taking me so long to get with it, but it’s a stupid decision and I’m still stubborn about it and eat and drink whatever the hell I want and ‘forget’ to take my vitamins all of which is pretty much making me feel like shit and is making me sicker than I need to be. If something would just “click” in my brain, I would strive harder to be healthier because I know I would feel better and nip the better part of this issue in the ass. I don’t know why I’m not treating myself better, but I think about it every time I go to Taco Bell. It’s got to stop. I guess I might be angry that I feel like I have to drastically change my diet in order to get better because I’m young and should be able to so whatever the fuckles I want, but I’m realizing that age doesn’t have anything to do with it and regardless of any health issues, being conscious of what I’m putting into my body and treating it better is something that needs to happen anyway.
I did have a very enlightening moment yesterday about my life and my health and today I woke up and took a shot of apple cider vinegar and all of my vitamins and now I’m eating some yummy oatmeal and I’m thinking that maybe I’m on the right track! Finally. :)
I’ve just had a hell of a time changing these unhealthy habits and I question why I am when I know I would feel a shitload better if I did. I don’t have any good answers or excuses. I just need to be smarter and get my shit together. Straight up.

What am I going to do with my life?
I wonder why I have such dark thoughts. I also wonder why they don’t have any negative affects on me.
It’s kind of sad that it’s so easy for me to answer this question, but most other questions I struggle to answer.
Why do I do the things I do?
Why don’t I do some things I should do?
Why do I feel this way?
Why do I think these things?
Why do I do this to myself?
Just a lot of questions I could probably go on for days. But hey I’m working on it.
Why, when I am explaining myself in the most depth I can, do people still not understand me?
I am always asking why I torture myself.
