[Help] The truth and nothing but the ****ing truth Updates to this post /post/250868-the-truth-and-nothing-but-the-i Tue, 08 Dec 2009 14:46:08 +0100 Reply from yassengregorovich /post/250868-the-truth-and-nothing-but-the-i#reply-4831287 [quote PheeGee]That is just what I was thinking!

No idea. It’s supposed to represent me driving through all those “brick walls”. A reference to Randy Pausch’s “brick walls”. This issue seems to be the only brick wall I can’t get through, no matter how heavy the truck is :S

Great :(. The question is… how do I get out of it. Now that everyone is sure that I am some shallow person :(.

[quote Anonymous]I only have one answer for you… I speak from my own experience in battling with depression and night after night wishing that maybe I would die in my sleep and never wake up… in desperation I prayed to God… I had studied the Bible and heard the Bible taught in the past… I read it and studied it trying to find answers… finally one day I went to my bathroom and filled my bathtub with water and sat down to read some more of the Bible… I wasn’t going to do anything else that day until I found the answer I needed… at some point while reading the New Testament I knew what to do… [/quote]

Been there, done that. No luck :( And all of Solomon’s wisdom couldn’t help the self-proclaimed “freak” become “normal”.

The authorities don’t think so though sometimes :/

Whatever you do please do your best to think about six things a day that are positive in your life no matter how small… even if its just for food and shelter… and healthy body etc… this will help to take your heart and mind in the right direction away from the self pity which can be so addictive.

Please know there are people who do care, on this site and everywhere, sometimes we think no one cares and our friends may be busy with other things but there are plenty of people in the world who care.

I wish you all the best!!!

It seems to me that you’ve convinced yourself over the years that you do not fit the paradigm of ‘normal’, and even though you appear to be an intelligent person to me, the fact that ‘normal’ is relative seems to have eluded you.

Because of this personal subconscious axiom, you actively expect other people to believe you’re an ‘abnormal freak’. So wheather you intend to or not, you completely refuse to connect with people on any meaningful level and interperate your own self-sabotage as a manifestation of your fear. You’ve created your own vicious circle.

Whats real is what you feel. Whats real is what you do with your short time alive, and such a short time it is. Whats real, whats normal is relative. My interests will be different to yours; how I conduct myself is different - but it is my normal behaviour. If you were exactly the same, if we all fit your concept of ‘normal’, THEN there wouldn’t be a point to living.

Thanks. I don’t have any real friends though. Just buddies. Most of which couldn’t care less about my problems :( Which is why I’m putting it into writing here.[/quote]

I do that too. If it wouldnt be midnight here Id stay and chat… I can only stay awake for 15 more minutes. Im sure someone will talk to you though.
I never talk to friends who know me if I have questions like that - maybe its just me, but I just cant. I hope you will find a friend here!
