Agitated and mixed up what the heck?

All strength to you @Queenie for getting it out. Sounds like a scary hard place.

Gentle hugz if you want one.

@Queenie Thinking of you Queenie you are doing the right thing. Love greenpea xxx

Hi @Queenie,

I just read this from Eckhart Tolle. I found it really helpful as I am victim of trapped thought.

Tolle writes that "the most significant thing that can happen to a human being [is] the separation process of thinking and awareness" and that awareness is "the space in which thoughts exist".[38] Tolle says that "the primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it"

It's so hard with an illness, but it helps me think about the situation instead of following the thoughts in your mind when they are not being helpful.

I know this is a bit general but it could help to know we don't have to focus on our thoughts about other people which are controlling.

I hope you are okay.

@Queenie you are showing great courage by facing what's going on and seeking help. Sometimes I can't really grasp things until I say or write them. It's good that you could write it down. I feel for you and hope that your pdoc can help. Take care

@Everan Hi Everan very interesting quotes thank you for sharing.

"Tolle writes that "the most significant thing that can happen to a human being [is] the separation process of thinking and awareness" and that awareness is "the space in which thoughts exist".[38] Tolle says that "the primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it""

I was wondering if space and situation were the same? and if that is the case we should be happily mad?greenpea

Hello friends,

I’ve heard back from my psychiatrist and I see him next week. In the meantime he wants me to take no sugar or caffeine after 3pm to try and settle the body for sleep. I feel exhausted.

Thanks @Bunniekins for replying i appreciate it 🙂

I think Eckhart refers to space as the place where thoughts exist, and situation is the reality in which we can be present.

This got me thinking because i think you can be happy by living in thoughts that are happy. I am a very happy person but need to be present to increase my awareness and interact socially.

@Everan Thanks Everan I did philosophy at uni and love this kind of stuff :). It does my head in but I still love it
