Post your random thoughts/feelings etc

I've started running again. Running is a physically stressful activity. It is good for me because when I race my mind works through thoughts at a very elemental level. It uses a different pathway in my mind to the incessant loop of worrying thoughts that carve a rut in my head.

Ow, ya b@$%@¿! Ma back, ma lower back! Aw, the pain. :thumbdown:

Yeah I see what you mean. Plus to be honest, its really hard to tell jokes without upsetting at least one person. Like that comedian said. Or some will just not find it funny but will act indignant just to be aholes. Coexisting is tricky, which is why I suck at it lol.

Oh, I'm the same. Ah just try and keep outta the way of people.

But then I'm huvin to co-exist with folk who are quite pushing about getting things their way, at the expense of how ah feel, so? :idontknow: h:

This, I say, makes him uniquely qualified to answer this question: What's the deal with people?

"What's the deal with people?" he repeats softly to himself, which now allows me to forever claim, albeit completely spuriously, that I once wrote material for Seinfeld...

"They're ridiculous," he concludes after a moment. "They're completely ridiculous. The answer to most questions about people and their problems is, 'to alleviate boredom'.

"Most crime, the entire entertainment industry, every hobby in the world, every sport, playing, watching, everything falls under the heading of, 'to alleviate boredom'.

"What people didn't realise is that having food, shelter and safety isn't gonna be nearly enough to get through this life."

How so?

"It's just unbearably boring," he says, with emphasis on the boring. "So we get involved in lots of other things. Some good, some bad."

Men and women are equally crazy, but in different ways.

AMAZING FACT: The conscious mind controls our brain only 5% of the day, whereas the subconscious mind has a hold of our thoughts 95% of the time!

(so make sure you have a good subconscious! )

Can't sleep, my mind won't settle. :kickingmyself:
Too many ideas and too much productive energy flowing within me.

AMAZING FACT: We are living in the sixth greatest mass extinction!

“All suffering contains a deeper Invitation – to know and be what you are, the space for the pain, the space for the heartbreak, fear and confusion, instead of the victim. To be the capacity for the moment, instead of the captive. This is not passivity or ‘giving up’, but creative emergence, and alignment with all the intelligence of a universe.” – Jeff Foster

Thought for the day; I wonder if SPW is actually good for me/my SA?..
Seems to be a double edged sword.

So I just went to my first ever counseling appt. It was at my university. It feels like I've done something wrong, I feel shamed for talking about the things I've kept inside and for going but she wants me to come back at s later date

I have had the same thought, PugofCrydee.
Experiencing the comfort of being with others who share the same problems as you and understand what you go through...... verses the sadness of seeing others in various stages of mental pain. :idontknow:

Long term, not really. If I'm honest to perhaps a brutal extent, while this community offers great love and acceptance, unfortunately it is often lacking in proper advice, and provides to reaffirm the anxiety felt out of a sense of a relation and understanding.

It's understandable too, not many here are therapists and merely seeking comfort- and to comfort others, and do what they can to make that happen. Which is noble, and something I've been guilty off. A lot. But sometimes I wonder whether we're too eager to enable behaviour out fear (perhaps even subconsciously) of spooking and hurting the person we're criticizing the behaviour of.

I started noticing that when at a certain point I ended up on a anorexia self help forum, and instead of helping each other get better, were sharing ideals and ideas on how what they were doing was justified and fine. I saw a lot of myself in that conduct.

I mean, I make an effort to be honest and not to be too much of a yes-man. But it's not my gut reaction. It's easy to agree, to duly contest, especially on this site, is incredibly hard and I always feel terrible about it afterwards.

We tried to keep him out, Blue. At least 59 million of us tried, but another 65 million chickens lost their heads, and now our goose is cooked. We're really, really sorry. When you see the sky falling, as it surely now will, please try not to hate us too much. Some of us did vote for sanity; we honestly did try. :sad:

I could swear that the candidate with actual mental issues, and who even wanted to increase hostilities with Russia, lost.

And by the way, the extent of the corruption on the American mainstream media is unbelievable. Labeling the majority of Americans as bigots, sexists and all other kinds of horrible things, lying to and against their own people, manipulating and intimidating them into voting for the most corrupt politician in American history, who only cares for those giving money to her. Things like the Clinton Foundation, all the stuff revealed by Wikileaks, the rigged DNC primaries, and even Hillary on record defending a rapist she knew was guilty, can propaganda really convince people that it's nothing to worry about?

I think one of the biggest and best things any of us can do is to NOT seek outside approval.

The power of being an individual with your own thoughts is your only real power.

You got that right! The biggest hurdle with that is this seemingly built-in human need for validation from other humans, beat that and you have truly won.
