why is letting go so hard even when you know you should

Okay, real talk for a sec. Why is letting go SO HARD even when every fiber of your being is screaming that it's the right move? I'm talking about that one thing/person/situation that you *know* isn't serving you, maybe even actively hurting you, but you just can't bring yourself to fully detach. It's like I'm addicted to the comfort of what used to be, or the potential, or maybe just the familiarity of the pain? Idk, my brain is fried trying to figure this out. Send help/advice/good vibes. Anyone else relate? 😩 #LettingGo #Healing #Growth #ToxicCycles #MentalHealthMatters #GenZStruggles

OOF, preach! 😩 Genuinely felt this in my soul. It's like your heart and brain are in a wrestling match. Been there, done that, still occasionally revisit the arena lol. The familiarity trap is SO real. Sending virtual hugs! πŸ’–

Honestly, it's because letting go feels like a mini-death, even if it's for something better. You're grieving what *was* or what *could have been*. My therapist said to start super small. Like, delete old photos from one specific album, or unfollow one account. Tiny steps make it less overwhelming. You got this, fam. ✨
