What's Your Affliction?

In life, people have that "something" they can't seem to shake off. For some it's a health problem, some it's addiction...Mine is bad relationships with men and being hated on by older or insecure women. What's YOURS? Please share smile
I can't seem to stop worrying about Money...
I don't understand money or finances very well, and it limits me sometimes.
A bit soul crushing.
Money? Like investing or talking about saving vs spending?
God damn I don't know... difficulty period? Life is hard, I have to work harder than most. I mean that quite literally whether because of my learning disorder or my start in life. I have to work a bit harder. But I'm still not sure that this is an "affliction", it just means I'll be that much more powerful when the day is done. I won't settle for any less than the very top.

Yes, I would say that is your affliction...like a tiny thorn in your side that is kinda annoying but you keep pushing harder because of it.

Fair enough...Here is what I know about money; the more you make, the more you spend...so in essence it doesn't matter how much you make it is never "enough". Just be content with what you have and more money can always be made.
My feet hurt and i have love handles Sad

Ugh
For me its money I spend too much I've gotten myself into debt so I'm struggling with that, my second thing was my unhealthy eating habits, crabs like to eat lol I was one of them its been a long hard road to get my health back in line.

Being funny.
I know you probably think I'm joking, but I'm not.
Even when I'm trying to tell someone something serious they somehow find something in it amusing. Whether it's the tone I use, my facial expressions or something else. I'm not sure, but sometimes it's actually frustrating when ppl think you're rolling out a joke, when you're not!

Hatred against women because of a terrible emotional trauma experience at the age of 13...


But that doesn't mean all women are that way, just like all men aren't pedophiles, or rapists, or abusive....
People make choices, and some are sick, evil, whatever, enough to make some really destructive choices.
For me, it's lupus. I'm on a race to figure this beast out, and then tame it and control it. I have it, my best friend has it, and another friend has MS, which is also autoimmune. I refuse to let this slowly destroy me!
Trying to get busy living but the man keeps throwing reality in my face.
Work and reputation, which is easily explained by Chiron 10th.
Also doesnt help that I have moon in 7th, I get attached too easily and people dont take me seriously.
Anxiety. I have strong anxiety that sometimes keeps me locked in the house and keeps me from opening up and trusting other people.
Loneliness...

I don't think i have an affliction. i'm constantly evolving and transforming and healing. It's quite fascinating.


Denial is an affliction Tongue
