no kidding , life is so incredible messy , even for beings without minds , like animals for an example , they are either predator or prey , one has to only watch the animal/nature shows and it tells all there . One minute a little baby animal is walking around the next minutes it gets attacked and devoured! Or even baby birds , the bigger baby bird will kick the smaller one out of the nest , so it can survive better but the smaller one dies. Deepak Chopra once wrote that life on Earth is actually hell , I think he is right. Being part of nature is so messy unless you are a flower or tree , i guess....

I am glad you said that ..... as I watched all the people on the TV celebrating New Years , I thought to myself , that what they are so glassy eyed celebrating doesn't even exist, How disillusioned does that sound? So I am taking the time to write a Mission Statement and with some kind of vision,

All I know is that my son is into it watching the Bitcoin gurus for hours on end , he is learning to predict the market pretty well , however he now does not want to continue his education and earn a BA , much to my detriment. I looked this deal up on the internet and it stated that it is a big scam but the people who know it is and play the market can make money of it , so I asked my son if this business is honorable and he did not really answer but most likely it is not a very honorable business, so therefore I bet the government is going to meddle with it somehow , If something is too good to be true , it most likely is not true, sorry I meant penny stocks!

Also , I have learned Anxiety is to worry about the future and Depression is fretting over the past .So I am sure that mindfulness would work miracles.

i learned that there is a gene for anxiety , we can inherit it , but learning new self-talk , staying away from stimulants and ending catastrophic thinking and learning to expend energy by exercising vigorously , yoga would be fantastic , seeing a good therapist would be good , the trick is not to give up on therapy if one does not click with therapist. All this has helped me , I used to get full blown panic attacks .....

yes been there , done that ... i used to be very depressed and hopeless , I was filled with many dark thoughts and tried on many occasions to leave my body by force ( taking my own life), I always have been a believer in God but was not praying or practicing anything spiritual at that point . As I prepared to drink some booze and cut my wrists , a question came into my mind , 'If God put you on this Earth , why would you want to kill yourself"? I realized how crazy my plan was, of course if God put us here , we should be here. That was the last time I ever tried to harm myself. So I believe that this pertains to everybody else as well. I also had to find a few good therapist that made all he difference in the world , they helped me see that most my thoughts about myself were wrong.

i have listened to Louise Hay , she is another fantastic metaphysical teacher , she teaches people to use positive self talk, always. She says that there are 20 year olds that act ancient and 90 year old that act and feel young. When I feel old , even at the age of 20 's ,I know I am getting depressed , your feeling about age could also be a signal that you are getting depressed.....

good point , tend to forget about being grateful to even be alive .....

Gosh , I have to admit that I contemplated suicide often and have actually tried to carry it out a few times , I used to be very very depressed , The last time I tried to harm myself was many years ago , i took a bottle buzz and some razors and walked along the freeway to get to the wilderness, as I walked along , a question flashed into my mind , Why would you kill yourself if God put you onto this Earth ? With that question I "woke up " from my trance like state and I realized that there was no reason at all . I walked back and from then on I had to face all my demons and problems. One of my most amazing therapist said to me once , that the people who commit suicide are the ones we needed the most , they are the most sensitive and valuable for society , the exception being murderers of course. PLEASE FIND A GOOD THERAPIST THEY CAN PERFORM MIRACLES !

what I have noticed about people who feel unlovable , they sometimes act very insecure and shy , are the most lovable ones ! I feel like that often too , however I have to go out and be surrounded by nature and after being all alone walking among the trees in the forest , I feel love and I don't worry anymore whether or not I am lovable . At that point I may have become lovable.....

yes, all these strategies sound great and are helpful. Now , I have a had a extremely terrible childhood and have suffered from years of depression , I took mushrooms , ecstasy and LSD . I never cured my depression with any of these but I did have amazing experiences . I went to years of therapy and every single therapist said that depression is anger turned inwards , so I had to focus on letting go of the anger I felt inside. Somehow, being around others who have positive feelings towards us can help with depression very very much.

my first thought was maybe migraines , sorry my answer does not sound too spiritual at all , I have lots of headaches due to either stress or allergies. it does not have to be a serous thing at all !
