I just put myself through the loathesome ordeal of trying on swimsuits. Ugh and yuck. Nothing like looking at yourself in a bathing suit in front of a change room three-way mirror. Would it not be easier just to avoid needing one altogether?

I ask myself for example too, why do I put myself through the ordeal of anxiety riding public transit? Would waking, asking for a ride, or taking a taxi not be easier? How about just avoiding it altogether?

Why do I put myself through shopping when I can avoid it by doing it online?

Why must you put yourself through....

Why do I put myself through all these medical tests? My PCP must think I'm malingering.

I often wonder why I stubbornly try and change the dynamics of my marriage, eternally hopeful that one day, my husband will "get" me. I work and work at improving communication, I struggle and try very hard to get back to being the kind of person I was when we first met (much more energetic and interesting, I suppose!). But will it ever have any effect? Will he ever understand how I struggle? Or how much energy I put into basic, everyday tasks?

It does feel like I'm pulling myself through knotholes, needlessly, at times.

I don't subject myself to trying on clothes in a changing room. I just take my measurements and order clothes off of Amazon. It's how I got my current bathing suit. Much less of an ordeal that way.

Why must there be all this anxiety surrounding dating and finding life partners? Why the games? Why the dance?

I sometimes ask myself...

Why do I put myself through the torture of my support group when lately I haven't felt very welcome?
