Making order out of chaos

Making order out of chaos

hey forum

I think this a thread that I want to make because it is inspired by a book I'm reading at the moment

I think there is a lot of chaos in our lives due to mental illness so I think making a forum on things that work for us would be a good idea

I will start with an example from self care:

When I feel overwhelmed and worried and concerned about myself and my life I always must remember that I am better than where I ever was about 7 months ago

Indeed. I think ever since I was diagnosed I was tending to think that I had to be "cured" but it has become a 'quest' of finding out about myself and understanding myself better.

Life can hurt yeah. What bugs me most is when psychologists (who are meant to be trained) can't seem to think why this is the case. I recall a time when I went to the ED and the mental health nurse was a total fool.... said all sorts of nonsense because I was depressed and upset at life. Her whole point was that I was 24 and should be happy and enjoying life... I'm like "really love? that's your solution" lol

Some people don't get it @MDT - my daughter is 22 and has been struggling since age 16. But like you, she is better than where she was say a year ago.

What do you believe helped you to be in a better place now than 7 months ago?

Today's lesson: There are many many many many many people on this earth and each one of them is very different. Thank goodness for that

All uniquely ourselves where no two people can be exactly alike.

Re: Making order out of chaos

That's pretty fantastic when I think about it @MDT - 7 billion people and we are all unique - and it's special - viva la difference

I see a divine hand in the universe - bringing order out of chaos - that's something I understand but part of the difference is that people see the universe differently - and so great

But I had two small children a long time ago and daily I would bring some kind of order to the chaos of my life - it really does make me think - I only had two for - like they are no longer children - but I had to fix the chaos all day long when my kids were little for as long as it took

God has about 7 billion people to have some order happen - and not all of the people are interested in World Peace - Whomever we believe - or whatever - force brings the world to order day after day for millenia and does it through infinity - wow - two kids for a few years -it makes me feel sort of humble.

Thanks for this thread Hamsolo - it's going to draw some interesting fruit I think

Great Lesson @MDT and it generated great responses.

Ways of generating order with so many people .. is complicated.
