    How is destructive behavior a form of anxiety relief?

    I’m not denying it, I’d actually like to know more about the specifics (and couldn’t find any specifics online).

      Addiction is an example, the thing that makes you feel good in the short term, is the same thing that mess you up in the long term, and the only thing that makes the thing bearable is more of the thing, completing a fucking horrible cycle.
