Pull yourself together (6)

"The unexamined life is not worth living" - Socrates

Heh...he commented that I should be charging by the hour, but I replied that sadly, all my phone booth cards had been removed, so I had to start doing freebies.

As you and I both know, darling girl, there is no help to be had until one is ready. Take care x

i was telling a friend only yesterday about many many periods of time in my life where trumatic adventure had been thrust apon me simply because i was in the vacinity led to living as much life in one week as many do in a year,,

the only depressingly one thing you can be certain of in life is that,

you are here now that's it,,

and that only you can pull yourself together no-one else can,

you can take pills to supress but they are not a cure matters of the mind are not a simple bug to be rid of by an anti biotic,

so regardless of the crap around it come's down to breaking the cycle of thought that is self destructive,,

recognising that thought process is very very important,,

then breaking the thought process by forcing a new thought into that cycle the thought has to be as bright with smell feel etc etc as real as possible forced into the depressive cycle of thought,

you have to keep pushing in the new thought when you recognise the sign's that your thinking is within the depressive cycle,

this will only work if your friend can see and activly use it,,

if they are a particular 'needy' type that will only call upon your good nature further and further without realisticly dealing with their problem,,

then they will drag you down with them,

Please excuse crap spelling cause i,m rubbish

Much wisdom above and gently put, especially the last.

But I have to say that is not always the case, it does not always work that way. Sometimes the depression precedes and precludes thought. I know this at the moment only because my own systems have been temporarily overwhelmed. I am taking such steps as I can to combat it, they take time to work.

An example: personal, I am sorry for that but it all I have to illustrate the point: at the moment I wake up, and immediately I am struck so low I am crying without let-up. Why I do not know, no thought has created it. Nightmares yes but not worse than at other times. In fact for me it works in reverse to what you describe and always has: I wake up, bum out and then have to cast around for what the heck might be the cause. Because of this I can never be sure that any answers I come up with correct or even relevant. Hard to heal when you do not know what the causes are.

At one time in my life I used to wake up because and as I was literally running off the end of the bed every morning, trying to flee... something...

When I have had the chance to awaken fully (which takes time) the 'gatekeeper' is re-established, I remind myself of all I have that is good, all I can do to improve my life and set off to do it.

it is not always within our power to control. And for some of us, while it is, when it is, we do.

we apologise for the incoherence,
we are busy having a primal scream...
