This Too Shall Pass

[cetus]

Every little bit of it.

In theory I know this. But when I’m in the midst of a struggle or depression there is always this need to immediately solve this ‘problem’ because my mind tells me I cannot be happy with this going on.

But I guess after a while this will pass too

@Max_V   A problem only exists in absence of a solution. Both are temporary.

Row, row, row your boat,

Gently down the stream, 

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, 

Life is but a dream...

But, make it a good dream.

Had 2 weeks of really strong negative emotions.

 

They're gone.

 

Keep surrendering peeps, let it all go!

I too, had some pretty intensive waves of sadness and loneliness overcoming me in the last couple of days. didn't know what to do with my life and feeling disconnected from everyone and everything. 

they disappeared as soon as I surrendered to them. write down how you feel, it helps releasing the feelings.

don't run away from negative emotions. embrace them and they too will pass <3

Well I will share some too then. 

I have been feeling quite miserable lately. I quit gaming, porn, and watching tv. From gaming I got a sense of 'being someone'  of the thrill of coming out on top in the competitive aspect Counter Strike has. Now that I quit I feel like a nobody. Not important, not recognized, lonely.

I guess I have always felt this way but with Counter Strike I was just distracting myself temporarily to get away from that feeling and experience a sense of recognition that performing good ingame gives you.

With now time in the evening to explore my creativity and do self inquiry more commited, I should be feeling on top of everything since my self actualization is going into the right direction, but I don't. I'm very critical with myself so when I don't feel like I did something perfect I feel a lot of dissapointment. This perfectionistic view is something that I'm working on myself and with my psychologist aswell.

I'm probably just in the middle of a storm right now, so I feel quite blinded to all the beautiful stuff that is right here in front of me. But I have the feeling that when I get through this, I will be able to experience life in a totaly different way.
