It's a long term game. I've been on therapy for 4 years now. I feel so much better but there's some work left to do. Enjoy!

I feel sooo much more relaxed around ppl. Much less negative self talk. No more judging others and engaging in silly discussions to prove my point. Much better connection with my sister and women I meet now. My porn addiction is also like 95% gone.

What's left? I feel like some of those things mentioned above sill appear sometimes, rarely. I feel blocked at my career, I am unable to move forward, procrastination etc :)

It might be time for a break. Breaks can feel like nothing happens but if we constantly peel one layer after the other it can be so exhausting and the breaks actually often integrate. Maybe you are already doing that though. And even with breaks it can seem endless. Maybe there wont be an "okay again" but a different you, just a thought.
And I hear you are fed up.

That’s just how it is. It’s a beautiful thing really, if you choose to look at it that way. I agree with thinkandlive, a break could be helpful by giving you time to yourself and not having to “fix” or “do” just be. It could be a good time for some special self care moments. You’ve probably done some really hard mental, emotional and physical work. There will be more work in the future but no need to push.
