Which Survival Pattern Are You Stuck In ?

score_strong

A low-level dread about everything that needs done — but you get up and push through anyway

A kind of flatness. Not deeply sad. Not happy either. Just... disconnected

A restless feeling that something’s off, even if you can’t explain why

Like you’re stepping back into a version of yourself you don’t fully recognise anymore

Give the edited version so you don’t worry or burden anyone

Open up briefly, then regret taking up space afterwards

Struggle to explain it because you’re not even sure yourself

Say “I’m fine” while quietly knowing there’s much more going on underneath

I should be grateful, so why do I still feel like this?

I don’t actually know who I am anymore.

I’m exhausted from always being the strong one

I give so much to everyone else and barely anyone notices.

Distract yourself so you don’t have to sit with it

Analyse it endlessly but still feel stuck

You’re exhausted but don’t know how to properly switch off

You feel like you’ve lost yourself somewhere along the way

You keep waiting to feel fully connected to life again

You’ve been giving so much to everyone else that there’s barely anything left for you

You feel guilty unless you make the time productive

You realise you feel strangely disconnected or flat

You sit there wondering what you actually enjoy anymore

You immediately start thinking about what everyone else needs

The one who’s always there for everyone else

The one who always says she’s “fine”

The one who doesn’t quite seem like herself anymore

Constant pressure and tension that never properly leaves

Like you’re emotionally disconnected from your own life

Like you’re restless but can’t figure out what needs to change

Like something important inside you has quietly disappeared

“Just keep going. Don’t fall apart now.”

“I genuinely don’t know who I am anymore.”

“Why does nobody ever ask if I’m okay?”
