People don't normally realize the correlation between eating an unhealthy diet and depression and anxiety and other neurologically related issues. There is one. Sometimes one results in another and sometimes one can be the cause of another. Not sure in your case; but either way, there can be a relation. The things that are in foods can alter the brain cells and can have an effect on hormones and dopamine. More often than not when you find a severely depressed or anxious person their diet is of poor quality. People who eat certain foods (on the healthier side)and are going through the same things another goes through can deal with that same exact circumstance in a more healthy way because of the proper nutrients they consume that can help in stress responses. I'm not qualified or knowledgeable to explain this in detail, but I know there's a link between both, and of course it's not always the case as different factors can also be involved. Just changing one's diet alone can reduce the way one reacts to life's stressful circumstances in addition to taking certain high-quality supplements that can target certain areas of the body that's responsible for stress management. Hope is for the future and will never get you anywhere. What must be done, is changing how we see ourselves, the changing of beliefs and to understand that nothing is permanent. Stop the comparisons to other people and to understand that life operates in patterns and that thought patterns and behavioral patterns are things that control our lives and we have to be vigilant in the observation of our minds and what triggers certain emotions that are responsible for the formulation of these patterns. In the end, only you can do this, and no amount of positive advice will turn the tables for you unless you set the intention to change. It seems to me that you are stuck in a loop because you're not able to see other opportunities that are so waiting for you but are impossible to see while stuck in your current frequency. My advice to you is to try your very best to start with your diet. Try to stop eating those foods you're eating and switch to more healthy foods. Envision in your mind each time you take a bite of something healthy (and educate yourself in this regard) how the body is transforming into the best tool you have to help you transform your mindset. Drink a green smoothie imagining the chlorophyll breathing life into your depressed cells and putting in your body life energy force that will stand guard and protect you from unwanted attackers like envy, jealousy, unworthiness and so on. Keep imagining the transition the body is going through at both end of the spectrum and see which one feels better. There's something else in your mindset that's happening and it's using this situation as a scapegoat and blame for why you're feeling the way you do, There's a familiar feeling you're addicted to and don't want to let go of because of the comfort it brings you because of familiarity and the unfamiliarity of the unknown. IOW, there's a pay off to this way of being youre getting and the mind is keeping you there because that's what it does. You have to have a vision of your future and not one of your past in order to overcome this. Nothing anybody said to you worked because it's more than what's happening in school. The school situation is a symptom not the cause. Lastly and on a Spiritual level, know that nothing outside of you defines you and the egoic mind identity is what's keeping you trapped in it's quest to stay alive; but not only that, to live up to it's false beliefs about itself and the world. None of it is true, but it doesn't recognize this because it's held unto it's false notion of itself so tightly that it's having a hard time letting go so that there's room for the true self to shine through. It's energetic and the true self is also this energy but it needs to be directed and certain things released for it to operate in ways that is aligned with it's true energetic nature. This is the power you have, you have the power to make things appear in ways within your awareness that you really don't want to see but because there's truly no one there making this choice, it's simply energy in motion that is being directed by frequencies and patterns. Sorry for the long reply, but this is what came out of me when I took in your comment and the response that happened to come out and what's in alignment with it. Hopes this helps. You are the only one that can do this, we can only be there to encourage this doing. Actually, except for cutting up that rope, maybe do nothing for now and let the life force guide you into action when it's ready, Take a mental break from everything and go for walks and enjoy nature for awhile.

I'm not speaking about identities and using the word loosely. I'm saying that some are only monogamous not because they never felt an urge but because they want to do right by their partner. They are only living up to a name and not only for the sole reason of never having the urge to sleep with another. Many people are monogamous but it doesn't negate the fact that they still had to refrain themselves and gave never felt the urge to sway. I'm not discussing what people should or shouldn't do. Still referring to the matter as what people should or should do or how they should or shouldn't feel. That's not my concern and what i'm referring to. Saying people only cheat when they don't live their partner is an assumption.

If someone pays another to go out to dinner or have a conversation for a few hours talking about wonderful things and in the process learnt a thing or two then go back to a hotel room for a fantastic massage or whatever else they engage in behind closed doors and then go on their merry way both satisfied with the encounter, where is the DISGUST and dysfunction in that. It was still prostitution. I could name numerous more situations and circumstances where there was prostitution taking place where it is not dysfunctional, disgusting or immoral. Get your facts straight before the use of a broad word as this. Did you know that a woman marrying a man for his money and having sexual acts with that man is, by the definition of the word, prostitution (engaging in sexual activities for payment), is just a glorified form of prostitution.

People keep talking about love. What's love got to do with it. Nothing. Loving someone doesn't make for a more monogamous mind. I can understand saying if they just don't have the desire to sleep with anyone else, but loving or not loving a person is not a requisite for monogamy. Someone can truly love a person while lusting sexually after another because sex has nothing to do with love. It's just a by-product. You can have sex without love and you can love without sex.

Because you keep talking about man-made laws when these same law enforcers are some of the ones violating them and also in this context. Sooooooo many are. Then they go out and lock up the same people they engaged with in the so-called illegal activity. Don't know about you, but I see something wrong with that picture. How about suggesting counselling, or other alternatives for people who need it instead of advocating to lock up people committing non-violent things in order to feed themselves and their family.

The only thing that will happen in prison is to breed more dysfunction, more sexual activities minus the $$ fighting and people engaging in ruthless behavior. Someone giving someone $$ for an act and both are satisfied seems a bit more humane to me.

Maybe we should just lock up everybody as just about everybody's family is dysfunctional. Not to mention the traumatized Christians and molesting Catholics

Lol. Go tell that to the hundreds of cops and judges that engage in these activities and prosecutors and lawyers that gather for conventions in Vegas and elsewhere. I'm first hand witness. Please save your morality for where it's really needed.

There might not be a deep understanding but it's not necessary as all is one. Consciousness implies something to be conscious of. What is being conscious and of what. Consciousness is fundamental but it's still within the dream of separation. Consciousness is what allows for the illusion to be seen. Without consciousness there is nothing. No-thing.

Just to make it clear, i'm more traumatized (well, not really traumatized, just saying), by the naysayers, the judgers, the criticizers and the people who look down on this work, and the regular ho Joe's who think they're better than or of a high moral standard than the ones engaging. That's where I have most of my problems. Not with the people I usually engage with as I'm not engaging with the low-lifes and I do try to choose my clients wisely. I've been used more by regular men who just wanted to get their rocks off by pretense. (That was when I was way younger, naive and didn't know any better) .

No, everyone knows here that I'm pretty open to this because I don't judge it or myself for doing it. It hurts me more that the food industry in the USA is knowingly poisoning people by approving certain chemicals in food that are known carcinogens and can cause tremendous harm to the body. It hurts me more that politicians lie to their supporters just to get votes. It hurts me more when a guy tries to lie to me about his feelings towards me just to get in my pants. It hurts me more to see men physically abuse their spouses and leave their baby mamas to fend for themselves and abandon their kids. It hurts me more to see how doctors can easily prescribe drugs to their patients without doing proper screening and now they become addicts. I could go on for infinity. As far as my work goes and how I engage, I'm not being used for anything, that I didn't consent to. It's an exchange of services and I conduct myself in ways that I'm comfortable with and I'm the one in charge. I'm not being coerced, and neither are my clients. I've had many wonderful times doing what I do and have met many beautiful people and have had some wonderful experiences. Of course, the opposite is also true, but that comes with the territory but the positives way out number the negatives. You have to understand and just like anything else, there are different ways of doing this work with different kinds of experiences and outcomes and what one does and how they carry themselves. It's not a one-size-fits- all kind of work, it varies.

To me, not wanting your daughter or son to do prostitution work is not closed-minded. The perspectives on what the work entails can be of a close-minded nature if it's coming from personal biases and judgements and is criticized based off of ignorance and a lack of knowing the ins and outs of the business and the different ways it can be exercised - that's where the closed-mindedness comes in and the refusal to see how it can be done in a respectable and non-threatening manner.

Politics is a way more nasty job, so is being a police officer and soldiers in war. People need to expand their awareness a bit and realize that the true dangers are the ones hidden. That said, sure it can be, especially for the street ones, but it's not a nasty job overall if done in certain ways. I've been doing this for awhile and have never gotten hurt nor has any of the girls I've been in contact with and barely ever heard of any "hurt stories" A housekeeper in one of the casino hotels was raped and murdered by a guest. Schools now have to do mass shooter drills and put their students through trauma and nurses in senior citizen homes have to watch people die everyday or attend to the old and sick and clean up nasty things all the time. Reason I'm saying these things is to show that people put too much emphasis on this and not realizing that all the things they say about this line of work can be applied to many other unsuspected jobs, occupations and aspects of life overall. It surely has it's benefits and draw backs, but so does a lot more things in society and some are way more dangerous.

Spirituality can attract suicidals. The Church can attract con-artists who just want to steal your money and Priesthood can attract child molesters, and the list goes on, casinos can attract addicts, bars can attract predators, hospitals can attract pill addicts, schools can attract mass shooters, airports can attract hijackers. Drugs can attract students, human traffickers can lure in regular people like teenagers and children and coercion can happen anywhere.

No, that's not being closed-minded, just protective.

The actual act, just like with basically everybody, is what's done in the shadows. Brothels are on roadsides, in Amsterdam women are in windows, prostitutes are on the streets advertising in the open and some bars and casinos, they're openly advertising themselves. Online, with pictures and bios, it's everywhere. The only thing in the shadows, for the most part, is the act itself or with people trying to hide the fact that that's what their motive is.

I'm aware of this but it's not what I base my reasoning off of. Even on this very forum I see it. My friends, neighbors family members and acquaintances. I'm not saying every single person is this way, so let's get this clear. Not even saying that most people cheat. It's in their nature and for most who don't, it's a restraint mechanism, (don't put myself in situation, avoiding certain places for risks of cheating, making sure to not do this and to not do that) they have to secure themselves in that way, especially if they've been in the relationship for a while. Because of what I do, I've made sure to not let it skew me and to base it off of that; that is something I'm conscious of. I've seen where people don't cheat not because they never felt the urge or wanted to but the liabilities and consequences were not worth the risk. So I'm saying people have to restrain themselves and talk themselves into why it's not a good idea while the other way around is more natural. Basically no one goes around saying I need to develop a tendency where I can feel like cheating on my partner, i want to cheat so I'm going to make myself want to, if that's the case I'm sure that's very rare.

Yes, true love sometimes aren't the ones that start right away, they're the ones that develop overtime, especially for women or the feminine. The ones that happen right away is usually lust that's why you didn't see yourself having a relationship with them. Not always, but in most cases.

Consciousness is the illusion. Things appear within your consciousness but that's not where they appear from. If illusion cannot exist without consciousness, then consciousness has to also be illusory. What's not an illusion is prior to consciousness. Consciousness is the I AM. Your true nature is prior to the I AM.

Lol

I would say that what appears is illusory, appearances, but not what they are appearing from.

I see; but everything is not an illusion, so that cancels that out.
