when will it get better? will it ever? i have wasted enough time in this world. I’d rather die than to continue living this nightmare. If it’s not getting better, i don’t want to be part of it.

I Wander & Wonder

Stuck

in my mind

I get the most lost

on the days I didn’t see it coming

Today I was

unprepared

for this journey

I have not shoes on my feet for the sharp stones

nor jacket on my shoulders for the brisk breeze

neither light from my torch for the deep darkness.

I cannot see the truth of now

through the curtains of questions

pulled closed over the windows to

Me

I hate depression. I'm ready to go home. I feel so out of place here and down about everything. I was so happy yesterday. Today, not so much.

SITTING IN DARKNESS

I have said to many people I know and even on the show, that this is the best I have been feeling for a while. It's actually the happiest I have ever been. I have learned how to love myself and the skin I am in, not carry the burden of things that I have done in the past, and just be eternally grateful for the life I have and the opportunities that come with it.

However, anyone who practices knows, we live in a state of impermanence. We say to ourselves our sadness won't be forever; however, some forget that goes the other way as well. Happiness doesn't last forever, as I have hit a depressive block.

Usually what anyone, including me once upon a go, we try to shake off the pain. We try to distract ourselves from it. Maybe we eat an unhealthy but tasty snack or meal. Maybe we go on a crazy shopping spree. Maybe people watch porn. Anything to escape all that pain inside.

In yoga, we're told to sit with the feeling of a pose. Don't shake it off. The mat translates to life. We do one thing, that's how we do everything. This is true when it comes to heavy feelings. One of the things I always talk about on the show is how the bad choice is usually the easiest. All the vices and distractions I listed are very easy things to do and they're the band aid to the bigger problem. So, what is the hard choice?

Like in yoga, we sit with that feeling. We observe how we feel and notice everything. It may not happen right away, but with practice and work we absorb the feeling and then let it go. I know I make it sound really easy, but it's definitely tough. That is why practice is required. Also, patience, and compassion.

The patience needs to be there in order to be mindful about what's happening and understanding that you don't just get to shake it off and its gone. You have to absorb, feel, witness, and then let go. You also need to have compassion for yourself because what you're going through is shitty most likely.

When we learn to sit with the feeling, we develop strength. We learn the art of perseverance and resilience. These are two important skills to master. Both take time to learn, but perhaps you can do other things to deal with your feelings. You can journal what's going on, meaning you are giving the sadness a name. It's like the sadness is your baby and you have to embrace it. Why? Because it's all part of the human experience. We breathe, feel, eat, sleep. It's all part of it. We feel emotions, we dream up thoughts and it is through this we take actions. Either we run and eat the ice cream, or we sit and meditate and observe how we're feeling.

I used to choose option one, but I have been working on option two and it is helping me deal with my brain says and the shitty sad feeling. Nothing comes easy. You have to practice, and practice makes progress. Not always as fast as you'd like, but the progress comes.

It's just remembering always no mood stays that way forever. Life is so precious and impermanent. We just have to ride shit out sometimes, but we must also the victories and the wins. The clock swings left to right. The yin and the yang. One day after the next.

Just try to live the best you can and don't worry. You can talk to someone about depression. If you don't have anyone, call 988. That's what I did this week. I felt better.

And I want to see you all feel better.

Much love; namaste

I’ve gotten rejected by the same con 2 years in a row. Does that mean I’m just not good enough?

[prideful-dragonnephi]

Those times you feel like your not enough and that people around can and will find better. All you really want is things to be quiet in your head.

It's funny

Being depressed after majoring in psychology. I literally could just look at my notes to help myself out.

Right now, i am next to someone who i call my fiancée but i have never been this lonely. my heart aches, there is so much pain it endures that tears won’t flow easily. the heart breaks but i am so numb with all this pain and sufferings. why do i attract the wrong people in my life? i really has thought he was the one but the right one can’t hurt you… or do they?…

Chilling out @ home today. Doing some laundry. Trying to remember that it will be ok. I will be ok. I try to tell myself I am stronger than I think. My brain 🧠 tends to feel overwhelmed sometimes & for no reason mostly. How do people live w depression for yrs? It's exhausting for me. Sometimes I just lay on my bed & breathe. I hope today will be a good day.

That moment when you've cried so much that your head hurts but you still feel like crying more.
