There's just a lot of sadness here.. last few weeks have been very rough. I try to allow the emotions. Praying for things to get better Jun 14, 2024 at 10:55 AM

      Not proud of it, but i take booze now every evening.. it just numbs/calms my nervous system down so i can sleep, no recommendation though

        @4Grace ;) i've been on the drinking tour last weeks.. every night. Day before yesterday, at night, i wanted to get an extra pair of blankets, and just fell straight on the ground while walking, cuz i was drunk. Next day hangover.. i mean.. what kind of a lifestyle is that.. especially in the long run..

        Yesterday i switched it up.. no alcohol, and took 2 sleep meds, which did the trick. I guess, i kinda conclude now.. sleep meds are a better choice than alcohol..

        I love you brother. I feel this. You are not alone in your suffering. You are not alone. My heart breaks for us. I am there on the floor with you. Hope for a better day.

      Yesterday evening was very negative again. Painful t.. and negative thought loops.. i hope the psychology of this will somehow ease down

        ❤️ I wish I had words for you. I wish I could help you. I’m sorry for being so negative. It’s my reality it does not have to be yours. We are all different. Please stay positive. Day at a time.

        @4Grace thank you, thank you. I can feel your struggle, but to me, what you share is not negative, it's sharing about your struggle.
        I'm trying to learn to not be ashamed about feeling down or low. I mean.. of course i don't wish to feel down.. but if that's what it is.. well.. then that's just the sad reality for now. I keep hoping for change, indeed day by day friend

        @4Grace Thank you, it's heartfelt dear friend. I don't want to complain or try to contest in any way.. but when i read your words.. that this is pure suffering.. i had similar things going through my mind.. this is suffering beyond suffering. Oh man.. i dunno i'm exhausted.

        I think the only sensible thing to do.. is trying to not hold on to psychological stuff.. finding some ways to relief the psychology of it all.. and indeed.. i feel like i'm living on hope. Day to day.. wishing it may be a good day dear friend

      You have the correct mind set. Hope with time. Maybe in time. No bull. I know so many with blasting T that could not care less. No idea how.

        But in the end.. that kind of a lifestyle is not wellbeing promoting. But for now.. it helps me to fall asleep, but indeed.. i hope for a better tomorrow, where i can just sleep easefully again

        About the mindset.. so well.. it fluctuates.. sometimes i just feel overwhelmed, and there is just the t pain and suffering, and i just want to be out of it. But it's also true that i keep inspiring myself every day with positive messages. I don't know.. it's contradiction, but there is both sides

        But it's true.. that without hope of it getting better.. this is no life. My only interest in life now is: wellbeing, to be able to feel comfortable in my own skin. All other things don't matter so much anymore. So yeah, i do keep telling myself.. plenty of rest, nature, distractions, day by day.. it can get better

        The knot for me though is.. i mean i can copy all kind of wise words.. but to keep it real.. we/i just want to live a life which is.. easeful.. pleasant.. sense of wellbeing.. so well.. words of inspiring teachings.. if it's not my own real experience.. what is it really worth (for me). And that's also the difficulty with painful t..

        I've always been interested in philosophy and nature.. but the difficulty is.. how can we find a way of wellbeing, when there is painful t.. damaged nerves.. i haven't found an answer yet. Other than, repeating.. hope with time & healthy lifestyle, positive inspiration. But i don't know, it has been very harsh.

        Ended up with drinking booze... just to numb myself.. uff.. man.. it feels like such a struggle. I am inspired by encouraging words of hope, inspiration, patience, endurance.. but sometimes.. it's just too much, and i just wish to be out of it.. just wish it all would end..

        It's a crazy rollercoaster, because i feel the t pain, but also thoughts like 'why is life so unfair', why it is this way, how can i deal/bear/endure this, etc. somehow i hope and intent things can calm down.. well and during the day.. i go for nature walks, but i also started playing more pc games in my free time.. just to distract and find some relaxation in that..

        Pfft... the weather is nice.. but i feel a little hangover from yesterday.. i hope & pray for ease of mind, calmth. Trying to not get stagnant on the negative thoughts.. but i do fear it comes again, because this has been a pattern for a while.. but yeah.. i just try to not stick to it, and feel it's a new day. How are you doing bro?

      (4) but it didn't actually work for long.. because it was too loud, screaming and bothersome. I drank alcohol, and that helped me to sleep

        Appreciate what helps you my friend. I would medicate if I could. I don’t want to encourage drinking but I so wish I could have a drink. Better than meds if it helps you sleep.

      My sleeping strategy would be.. there is (heavy) t.. but trying to not hold onto thoughts around it.. it's not so simple, but it's my intent
    24. L along the way

      Which then, i find bothersome, because the t is just painful, and my negative thoughts start again

      I try to find ways to let my mind unwind.. i would say to myself.. let my mind be still, that only the t can be heard..

        But when there is just t.. it automatically feels like "not a nice place to land".. it's starts a thinking mechanism. That thinking mechanism i wanna deflate. But still.. the pure sensation of the t.. ufff my auditory nerves feels damaged and stressed, it's hard to endure, especially when i can't fall asleep because of it. Sometimes i use sleeping meds, which help for now
