hello,
i have a history of self sabotage. drugs, quitting jobs, driving recklessly, dumping women, etc.
i am 30 years old. i recently met a great woman. 2 months ago. she is truly kind. i also started a new job this week.
i cannot begin to tell you how scary this sh*t is. all i want to do is run from the job, not do my work, sabotage my relationship. i feel like its time to grow up. at the same time, i feel that the desire to destroy myself and my life is very persuasive and hard to say no to.
help...

at the risk of coming across all "touchy-feely". how about some positive affirmations about being deserving of what you have
good luck at not blowing it
been there, done that

Hi,
Have you considered getting into therapy to help you deal with these issues. I tend to be self destructive, too. Like taking Provigil when I know it is going to make me feel better for 3-4 hours and then going to make me way more depressed. Why would anyone do such a thing?
It sounds like you are scared of all the changes in your life. New job, new girlfriend. I think it's normal to be scared. I don't know what to tell you to keep you from sabotaging yourself. But hang on and try your best to allow things time to settle down and work out.
