Making order out of chaos

Hey @MDT, Good to hear from you again. 🙂

I think this is a great idea.

Whenever I am feeling really down, I try to draw or write out my emotions. I tend to bottle everything up, which then leads me to self-destruct later on. Drawing and writing helps me vent my negative emotions in a creative way.

Today's lesson: Sometimes we must cut loose the things that hold us back so that we can progress forward in life in a good direction that is both healthy for us and conducive to improvement. Although it will initially seem daunting, scary or anxiety-inducing it is probably one of the most liberating things we can do. I've found that in the past week some news has really thrown my balance off and I'm now rebalancing myself.

"When people realise how bad it is they cannot do anything to stop it because they go crazy. There are some people who never realise" - Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell To Arms

I think we've all got that in common on here. We realise how bad it is to have MI but we can't do anything to stop it. We may go crazy in the process but then there are those that never realise. Maybe they are the crazy ones?

thats true @MDT glad things are starting to rebalance as well even though it takes time

Yes it does. @MDT I am coming to terms with how unusual my life was and how many different people I lived with as a child. Mindboggling. I will count them all up one day. It laid a pattern where i am not sure my real home is and I try to relate to different ways of looking at the world, but 7 billion and population growing as got me stumped.

Letting go the past and moving forward for a conducive life. Not a bad way to go.

Funny you say that @MDT

I just began a new thread to help ground me in the forum. I was feeling spread too thin. It is called "Fragile" you are welcome.

Yes it can be important not to get stuck and be able to move on. Its in the ebb and flow of safety and needing challenge. I think it is another rhythm in being human, not just the circadian one.

Good lesson @MDT - letting go of the past to move forward. So often I can find myself "stuck" realising my mind is still holding on to the hurts of the past or trying to tell me it will repeat itself. Then it can become a bit like Groundhog Day in one's mind. The cycle of depression. Cutting that out of our consciousness would be liberating.
