I don't know why, but I don't ever seem to be grateful when good things come my way.

[anir]

This is a pretty f*cked up problem, but a year ago I was hooked on a bunch of bad habits, getting no sleep, eating bad foods, always distracting myself, and consuming lots of content on social media. I decided to switch my life to a total 180, and it doesn't seem to have lasted. I have been hitting the gym for a while, working my job for a while, and overall doing good for a while. Whenever anything that I want happens, I never stop and say "Hey, I am genuinely happy with the result.", but instead, "Good, let's keep it going." Now this is where everything starts to fall apart, I am a sophomore in highschool, and towards the end of this year, things have gotten so stressful to the point where NEARLY 80% of my post-school time has been taken up by schoolwork itself, and it's been hard to hold a grip on everything. As I was slowly slipping, my mind would tell me that I am not living up to my expectations, and I just quit everything all together. It's been a month since this happened, and I thought the day I would leave for summer vacation, everything wouldfix itself.... but it didn't. Now I am realizing that school wasn't actually to blame for my failures and it is just me. Looking back, I am still more successful than when I first started. (even in the midst of thinking that I'm a piece of shit.) The catalyst to all of this, again, is just my tendency to always want more, more, more, more, and to never be content with what I have WHILE ALSO pursuing greater. Has anyone else dealt with something similar? If so, please help me out. This is my first post on the forum, but I have been lurking for quite a while.
