If I'm chasing a good feeling either by: Using discipline to make myself feel bad so I can learn from it or if I know that it's going to get me somewhere by solving good problems or: I know it will be good in the moment but bad afterwards (Which I ignore).

Yeah I guess it's self-sabotage. I also feel sometimes like I secretly crave the attention I get when I feel bad. I wish I could get over that.


I don't do it intentionally, that's for sure....
