23m. Alright people depend on me. I’ve definitely let them down in the past though. I grew up dysfunctional. I grew up with no mentors(male or female). I grew up with no structure, no one making me build habits. I struggle with mental health and sometimes substance abuse. Honestly telling ma self “for ma family” don’t always work. Sometimes I get lost or I don’t maybe I’m just fucking horrible. I’m assuming though some of you have been here. I would like to know what rules you follow and what things you do to allow yourself to be there for your family/teams. I’m thinking now in terms of framework or something. Things can get overwhelming for me and feel like I’m expecting to much of myself. So I’m asking you is there like a point or a couple crucial decisions you are making that put you in position to be their for your fam/teams. I guess non negotiables? Maybe you don’t work out to today maybe you fail, but you know no matter what you have to be up when your alarm goes off? Like maybe you don’t lift but you DO make sure to go for you walk because it helps your mental health? Thank you all very much submitted by /u/throwaway234324233
